Pumpkins are one of my favorite things to teach about! The unit coincides with my favorite season, and today I wanted to share with you the best resources to teach the pumpkin life cycle!
The pumpkin life cycle has so many great cross-curricular lessons. In science, you’re learning how things grow, change, and decay. In social studies, you can discuss community helpers and talk about farming.
The pumpkin life cycle provides great opportunities for vocabulary development and sequencing activities. In math, you can use tons of measurement activities as well!
Here are some of my favorite resources to use when teaching about the pumpkin life cycle.
