Big

"Which pumpkin in big?" The kids answered correctly.  We continued to compare sizes with other ordinary objects like books, spoons, anything we could find.  

 We read 'The Biggest Pumpkin Ever!' by Elizabeth Bennett. 

Our worksheet about the concept of 'big' was very simple.  We had lots of time so we decided to play a round of "Find The Big Pumpkin".  The kids waited in the playroom....

I hid the pumpkin...

The kids were released in a loud and fast moving jumble of voices and stomping.. where could the pumpkin be?

Hmmm.. not seeing it yet...

Look..look...look...

"We found it!"

Congratulatory applause.. so cute..

We played again.

And again.. I love this game because it is simple and the kids really enjoy it.   It ate up the rest of our work time.  It is absolutely gorgeous outside this morning. The lake is covered with thick fog and I love the way the air feels and smells.  Fall is here! I am overjoyed!  Happy Thursday.♥♥♥

"Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish.  A favorite of mine, for sure.♫
