Everyone likes pumpkins. They symbolize fall, seasonal changes, cooler weather, and Halloween fun! Use pumpkins to motivate writing lessons. This is an activity for kindergarten. Focus on a repetitive text using word wall words. Use word cards for topic words. Encourage children to use letter sounds to choose a word to complete sentences. Books don't need to be long; beginning writers can write 2 sentences and feel successful. Make writing relevant and encourage children to touch each word as the child reads the text.

HAPPY FALL!
