A Season of Pumpkins















13th Avenue’s Fall Festival
The Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students got to experience a little bit of fall in our school garden. Located directly across the street, our garden was turned into a Pumpkin Patch, complete with a pumpkin for each child, scarecrows, and lots of leaves!  The children participated in learning activities that included tasting red, yellow, and green apples and charting their favorite apple on a graph, weighing and measuring pumpkins, and sorting fall leaves by color.  After all of these wonderful activities, the students then shared a special snack of pumpkin bread and apple juice.  All had a wonderful time!
We would like to extend a special thanks to the 13th Avenue School PTA for their generosity with sponsoring this event.
