It is fall and we are still obsessed with pumpkins at our house! Henry's class "planted" seeds in an old jack-o'-lantern and set it in an empty spot near the school to grow. We'll see what happens.
Henry drew this pumpkin family last week and labeled everyone. Dad is the biggest pumpkin and Weezie is the smallest. Henry is bigger than Will because he's tired of being the littlest. All the grandparents are represented too.
Meanwhile, Will has been busy doing art at school. They made handprint turkeys and wrote about a special Thanksgiving guest for their latest published hallway work. If you're wondering who Will would like to invite to Thanksgiving dinner, it's Bad Kitty from the book series.
Willl also went to Hands-on Art last week. They learned all about John James Audubon and made their very own bird art using oil pastels and water colors.
Will painted a robin!
When Gramma and Grampa came back from Maine, they brought back a huge box full of chapter books they had picked up at a garage sale. Will was so excited! He immediately sorted the books and set up his very own library. Can you see the labeled tags between the series of books? He also wrote down his library rules.
And because he is so thrilled about his library, he's even been writing notes reminding us that we can check out library books.
I've got Junie B., First Grader: Aloha-ha-ha! on request and can't wait to read it!
