First Christie Challenge

Last Friday, our school had a challenge to design a pumpkin as one of their favorite story book character. Thankfully, many parents donated small pumpkins to our class. We were able to make groups and have the students research what character they would like.

The first day, the students chose what character they would like. That was probably the hardest part for them. Two groups were reading library chapter books with popular characters, so Amelia quickly thought about Harry Potter. The Lorax and Cat in the Hat were immediate choices once the groups thought of it.

The next day, they designed a pumpkin on paper and gave me the materials list they needed. They requested paint, googly eyes, felt, and many other materials.

Friday, we went outside and decorated the pumpkins. YAY! No paint on clothes. No big disasters. The students had fun. The biggest challenge was finding a hat that would stay up for the Cat in the Hat. Makaela and Madilynn found cardboard from the classroom. We cut it and made it into a cylinder to go on the top.

Many of our pumpkins will be presented at the assembly.
