Students carved pumpkins afterschool
Pumpkin's fillings
Carved Pumpkin
Pumpkin Ghost!
This activity was a week before Halloween. It in the after school art enrichment course and because I’m so smart-I decided to do this in my classroom. It got messy but not that messy. I layed black garbage bags on the tables so that I can just gather them and throw them away. Students were good to keep all the pumpkin fillings on the table and not on the floor. It got pretty rowdy at first because the boys and girls were seated together but I quickly got them quiet by calling on quiet students to choose their pumpkin from the closet. Once they started carving their pumpkins, they were having fun. Some of the boys helped some of the girls with carving which I thought was really sweet. Mrs. Anderson helped me out with passing out materials and for the extra support. We got these pumpkins from Communities in Schools site coordinator Lori. I had few students who carved paper designs and the rest was their own discretion.:)
