The students will work on different cognitive processes, retelling, organizing ideas, sequencing , predicting, analyzing drawing conclusions. Some of the activities they will complete are: KWL chart, graphic organizers to describe pumpkins. listen and read an informational text and sequence the life cycle of a pumpkin.  

The students will listen to an informational text about the process of how a pumpkin grows.

 In addition an art project is included too!

The final task will be the completion of a research project using the five senses.

I have also created a great variety of online resources to practice at home.
