Product description
From the author
Explore pumpkin growth with eight craft and vocabulary formats: a crown, paper pieces for two necklaces, a spinner, a lift-a-flap circle, a flap booklet, color and black-and-white sliders, picture-and-word cards, and a lift-a-page book.
The 23-page PDF includes two instruction pages. Select and print the components you want, then supply coloring and assembly materials. The word cards have letter boxes for separately supplied Bananagrams or Scrabble tiles. Components use different lengths of growth sequence.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Describe the pumpkin growth sequence shown on a chosen craft
Recognize pumpkin vocabulary and build the printed words with letter tiles
Assemble a necklace, slider or booklet to retell the sequence
Teaching tips
Have students wear the completed crown or necklace while retelling the sequence shown on that craft aloud as a quick daily review.
Use the word cards with Bananagrams or Scrabble tiles, as the packet suggests, to fold in a light spelling review alongside the science vocabulary.
Send the lift-a-page booklet home as a low-prep way for students to retell the sequence to a family member.
Skills covered
Life-cycle sequencing — students review the growth sequence shown on their necklace, spinner or slider.
Vocabulary and word building — students use picture-and-word cards to recognize terms and arrange letter tiles in the printed boxes.
Fine-motor craft assembly — students color, cut, tape, and staple crowns, sliders, and booklets to build their own review tools.
