🎃🧪 Pumpkin Jack Comes to Life in Pre-K 4! 🧪🎃

Our Pre-K 4 friends are putting their scientist hats on as they follow the exciting journey of Pumpkin Jack! 🍂🎃

After reading Pumpkin Jack, we carved a pumpkin and are observing what happens as it changes over time. Each day, our little scientists are making predictions, recording observations, and exploring the fascinating process of decomposition. 🔬🍁

From fresh and bright to squishy and sprouting, we're learning all about life cycles, change, and the science happening right before our eyes! 🌱✨

Hands-on learning like this helps build curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for discovery.

🎃🍂🧡

Today, our friends dove into the wonderful story The Rainbow Fish! 🌈🐟 Through this beautiful book, we learned that friendship is about kindness, sharing, and making others feel special. Our students loved talking about what it means to be a good friend and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. 💙
