We read the story Pumpkin Jack in our classroom. The story tells about a boy who carves a pumpkin for Halloween. After Halloween, he throws it in the garden and watches it get buried by the snow. When spring comes, the boy notices a new pumpkin growing in the same spot. So the pumpkin's life cycle continues. We have started our own "Pumpkin Jack" in our classroom. We carved a pumpkin, put it in a clear tote, and we will watch the pumpkin life cycle unfold in our classroom.
The class voted on calling or Pumpkin, Piper instead of Jack!
