Pumpkin, Pumpkin Language, level: Elementary Posted Wed Jun 3 12:22:16 PDT 1998 by Becky (mreid@hcis.com). Farley Elementary, Paducah, Ky USA Materials Required: book-Pumpkin, Pumpkin Concepts Taught: Phonemic Awareness, Making Words Here's an idea to add to your fall file for the book Pumpkin, Pumpkin. The greatest thing is that after you use to activity for whole group, it becomes a literacy center. Preparation: Laminate orange construction paper Buy 4x6 adhesive magnetic sheets for photos (2 packs or 3 sheets) Attatch magnetic sheets to orange paper 1 sheet should do 2 pumpkins Use a die cutter to cut out 6 pumpkin shapes On 5 of the pumpkins write __ump On the last pumpkin write ___ump__ __ __ Get magnetic letters: b, p, p, d, h, l, d, k, i, n To introduce the lesson: Read the book Pumpkin, Pumpkin Show students the magnetic pumpkins and the letters Tell them that the letters u,m,p say ump and they are going to try to make some ump words Let students come up one at a time and try to use a letter to make a word Continue until you have completed all but the last pumpkin. Let students try to guess what word the left over letters will make and let them experiment to see if they made a real word. Continue until someone correctly spells pumpkin. Then I sing the poem from a poster I have from the Education Center (tune: I'm a little tea pot) I'm a little pumpkin fat and round Growing in the cornfield on the ground I'll be a jack o'lantern with two big eyes Or maybe I'll be baked into some pies Then I put the pumpkins and letters on a small magnetic board like the Wonderboard. Put it in a ziplock bag and add it to my ABC center. Submit Lesson   Search   Browse   Request Lesson
