PUMPKIN TALES

A GOOD STORY NEVER GROWS OLD!

I must have told this story thousands of times over the past 50 years. The wonderful thing is that it's "old" to me, but most of the teachers and children have never heard it before. You'll need to practice a few times before doing it for your class, but I guarantee you'll hear, "Do it again! Do it again!"

P.S.  Here's a video where you can watch me tell these stories:


Pumpkin House Cut and Tell Story
Materials: orange paper, scissors
Directions: Place the orange paper and scissors in your lap. As you tell the story cut out the different parts with the scissors. At end of the story, the children will be delighted with the pumpkin house!
Hint! You can also tear out the paper with your fingers.

Once there was a little old lady who lived in a funny orange house near name of your school. Her house was shaped like half a circle with the chimney at the bottom.

This little lady had a cat named child’s name in your room. This cat had a long, curved tail, so the old lady had a special door cut just for the cat’s tail.

The little lady always wore a pointed hat. She had a special door built for herself, too, so her hat would not fall off every time she went in and out the door.

The little lady had two pet birds. Their names were child’s name and child’s name. She had a window cut just for them so they could fly in and out and in and out.

It was getting close to Halloween, so all the children inteacher’s name classroom went to her house and knocked on her door. The little lady came to the door and said, “Close your eyes.” SURPRISE! It’s a jack-o-lantern!

Here's a link so you can download the directions.

Pumpkin Man Tell and Draw Story
Materials: large sheet of paper, marker 

Directions: Explain that you will need everyone to help you tell this story. Demonstrate the movements below. When you say the words in the story, then the children should make the motions.


“Knock” – pretend to knock on a door

“Rock” – move body back and forth

“Spin” – twirl hands around each other

“Come In” – make motion with hand


Draw the body parts on the paper as you come to them in the story.

Once there was a little old lady who would just sit all day and rock and spin and wait for somebody to come in.
 One day as she sat there rocking and spinning she heard a knock at the door.

“Come in,” she called. In came two big, black boots. (Draw boots on the board.) “I can’t talk to you big, black boots,” said the little old lady. So she just sat there and she'd rock and spin until she heard a knock at the door.

“Come in,” she called. And in came two bony legs. (Draw two skinny legs coming out of the boots.) “I can’t talk to two bony legs,” said the little old lady.
 So she just sat there and rock and spin until she heard a knock at the door.


“Come in,” she called. And in came a funny body. (Draw a pear shaped body on top of the legs.) “I can’t talk to a funny body,” said the little old lady.
 So she just sat there and rock and spin until she heard a knock at the door.

“Come in,” she called. And in came two wiggly arms. (Draw wiggly arms coming off the body.) “I can’t talk to wiggly arms,” said the little old lady.
 So she just sat there and rock and spin until she heard a knock at the door.

“Come in,” she called. And in came two big hands. (Draw hands at the end of the arms.) “I can’t talk to two big hands,” said the little old lady.
 So she just sat there and rock and spin until she heard a knock at the door.

“Come in,” she called. And in came a big pumpkin head. (Draw a pumpkin head on the figure.) “Well, I can talk to a pumpkin man,” said the little old lady. And she did! 




Adaptations: End by singing “Do You Know the Pumpkin Man?” to the tune of “Do You Know the Muffin Man?”

OCTOBER JOKES AND RIDDLES

These riddles and jokes can develop children's sense of humor as well as language standards...(determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases…).

*You might want to choose one joke each day and write it on the board. Invite the children to read it with you. Ask children who "get it" to “think out loud” and explain their interpretation to classmates. This will enable children who “don’t get it” to scaffold to a higher level.

*Satisfy writing standards by asking children to write and illustrate jokes and riddles. Peek-a-boo flaps and lunch bags work well for this. Put their jokes together to make a class book.

*Encourage each child to learn a joke that they can share with their classmates. (Speaking and Listening Standards) Let children decorate craft sticks with their names and put them in a “Joke Can.” When you have a few extra minutes, choose a stick and let that child tell a joke to the class.

OCTOBER CELEBRATIONS

Everybody knows about that big holiday at the end of October, but there are some other special days that you can celebrate this month. 

Note! Of course, feel free to adapt these to any day, any learning situation, or any age level.

October 2 World Smile Day

October 3 World Card Making Day

October 5 Do something Nice

October 12 Columbus Day

October 16 Dictionary Day

October 21 Count your Buttons Day

October 27 Tell a Story Day

GET READY FOR SMILE DAY TOMORROW! 
Here are some simple ideas to put a smile on your children's faces.
Yes, your smile can set the tone for the whole day, so put on a happy face. Sometimes you have to be part actor or actress and "fake it til you feel it."

Smile Break
When children are inattentive, help center them with a smile break. Tell them to look at the clock or use the timer on your phone as they smile for 30 seconds.

*You can also ask them to hug themselves, freeze, or do other motions for a specified amount of time.

Recall with a Smile
Have children close their eyes. If they can see something new they learned they can open their eyes and smile at you.



High Five Smile
Teach children how to give themselves a “high five” for a job well done. Hold up both palms facing each other in front of your chest. Pretend to wave with one hand as you hold up five fingers on the other hand and smile. (“Hi 5!” Get it?)


Smiley Cheer
Take your index finger and pretend to poke two eyes in the air as you make a clicking sound. Make a curved smile with your pointer under the pretend eyes as you whistle and then give a big smile.
😊😊😊


Give Yourself a Smile
Ask children to draw a picture of their face without a mouth. Take a pencil and draw a frown on the face. How does that look? Erase that frown! Now, take a red crayon and draw a big smile on the face. Which one looks better? Which one would you want for a friend?


Smile Hug
Smile, close your eyes, and hug your shoulders.




Ha! Ha! He! He! (Tune: “Pretty Little Dutch Girl”)
I smile because I’m happy, (Smile.)
As happy as can be.
I smile because I like myself. (Point to self.)
I smile because I’m me!

I laugh because I’m happy,
As happy as can be. (Ha! Ha!)
I laugh because I like myself.
I laugh because I’m me! (Ha! Ha!)

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. (Hold stomach and fake laugh.)
He he he he he he.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
He he he he he he.

THE MAN IN THE MOON


From the time children are toddlers, most of them are fascinated with the moon. The moon is FREE and it belongs to EVERYONE! Wouldn’t it be interesting to have children look at the moon every night for a month with their parents and draw a picture of what the moon looks like? What a meaningful way for families to do a little science together.

The Full Moon for October will occur on Sunday, October 9th. The New Moon will happen later in October on Tuesday, October 25th. According to the Farmer's Almanac, historically, the Native Americans who lived in the area that is now the northern and eastern United States kept track of the seasons by giving a distinctive name to each recurring full Moon. October's full Moon was called the Hunter’s Moon because this was the time to hunt in preparation for winter.


Facts for kids about the moon:

The moon goes around the earth.

The moon has no light, but it reflects the sun’s light.

The light of sun on the moon creates the different phases of the moon.
That’s why it looks different to us throughout the month.

It’s called a new moon when you can’t see it.

When the moon gets a little larger at night it’s called waxing.

As the moon gets smaller it’s called waning.

The moon is always up in the sky, but during the day when the sun is bright you can’t see it.

Here’s a neat website where you can get a calendar of the moon’s phases and other learning activities:



*What other things can you see in the sky? Take children outside and let them draw pictures of the things they see.

*Is there really a man in the moon? The moon has craters that make it look like a face.
Give children uncolored play dough and let them make a moon/pancake. Have them make craters in their moon with a pencil eraser or the end of a marker.

Here’s a book from Scholastic with the phases of the moon:



Don’t forget to read two of my favorite books GOOD NIGHT, MOON, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOON.

COLUMBUS DAY

Monday is Columbus Day, so here are a few learning activities to tie into your lesson plans.

Columbus Day
(Tune: “Going Over, Going Under” – Happy Everything CD)
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 (March and salute.)
The Nina, and the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, too.
Going over going under in the Atlantic Ocean’s thunder,
(Make hands go up and down.)
What a brave thing to do! (Thumbs in to chest.)

When Columbus set sail he knew the earth was round.
(Make a circle with arms.)
He was amazed at all the lands and the people he found.
Going over, going under, in the Atlantic Ocean’s thunder,
(Make hands go up and down.)
What a brave thing to do! (Thumbs in to chest.)

Columbus visited Bahamas, Cuba, South America, too.
(Hold up fingers – 1, 2, 3.)
On October 12 we remember him and his crew. (Shake finger.)
Going over, going under, in the Atlantic Ocean’s thunder,
(Hands up and down.)
What a brave thing to do! (Thumbs in to chest.)

*You can download this book at drjean.org.

Sailor Hats
Make sailor hats out of newspaper. Fold in half. Bring corners down until they meet. Fold up top edge and then turn over and fold up the bottom edge. Let children decorate.




Globe
Point out where Columbus started in Spain and the islands he visited. How has travel changed since Columbus’s voyage over 500 years ago? Compare a map and the globe. Which one is two-dimensional? Which one is three-dimensional? What shape is the earth?
Here's a simple song that will help your students learn directions.

Directions (Tune: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home")
The sun is rising in the East, (Face the front of the room and point right.)
uh huh, uh huh.
The sun is setting in the West, (Point left.)
uh huh, uh huh.
My nose is North, (Point forwards.)
My tail is South, (Point backwards.)
And so I turn myself around, (Turn around.)
And the sun keeps rising in the East (Point right and then swing arm over to the left.)
And setting in the West.

*Go out on the playground in the morning and find the direction where the sun is rising. Sing the song and point to the true directions.

*Play "Simon Says" as children point to the different directions. For example: Simon says point south. Simon says point west.

*Demonstrate how to use a compass.
                                                 
*Explain how a compass rose is used all over the world to help orient people.

OCTOBER GUACAMOLE OR AUTUMN AVOCADO

Someone mentioned an adaption of the "Guacamole" song for Halloween and I thought that would be fun. I asked teachers on FB if they had any good ideas and they did! One teacher mentioned that they couldn't do Halloween at their school. Hmmm? How do I keep everybody happy? I'll make TWO - one called Guacamole Halloween and one called Avocado Autumn. You can take a look at the lyrics below and then decide which version would be more appropriate for your class.

SPIDER RINGS AND BAT THINGS

NOTE!  I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW FRUSTRATED ALL OF YOU ARE ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO USE HANDS-ON MATERIALS!  CHILDREN LEARN THROUGH PLAYING AND MANIPULATING REAL OBJECTS, SUCH AS PLASTIC SPIDER RINGS.  THIS IS AN OLD BLOG, BUT I COULDN'T RESIST SHARING THIS MEMORY WITH YOU.  WE HAVE TO KEEP HOPING AND BELIEVING THAT ONE DAY WE'LL BE ABLE TO TEACH CHILDREN APPROPRIATELY AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO USE THESE ACTIVITIES!!!

Spiders are a good substitute for scary things this time of year. These plastic rings are cheap, plentiful, and perfect for hands-on activities.

Sort
Ask children to sort the rings. What was their sorting rule?

Count
Put different amounts of spider rings in bags or cups. Number the cups. Children count and then record their answers.

Sets
Draw spider webs and label with numerals or number words. Children make appropriate sets.

      

Addition and Subtraction
Children can work out math problems with the spider rings.

Estimate
Fill a plastic jar with spider rings. Children estimate how many and then write it on a sheet of paper with their name. At the end of the day count the spiders. Who guessed more? Less? Who was closest?

Position
Give each child a spider ring. Can you put it above your head? Can you put it beside you? Can you put it between your knees? Etc.

Songs
Children can use spider rings to sing the “Itsy Bitsy Spider.” Sing “The BIG FAT Spider” with a loud voice. Sing the “Teensy Weensy Spider” with a high, squeaky voice.

Nursery Rhyme
Let one child be little Miss Muffet. Tie a string to a spider ring and let another child dangle it as you say the rhyme.

                                     

Art
Cut notches in a paper plate. Children can weave yarn through the notches and then tie a ring to the end of the yarn.
Children can dip spiders in paint and then use them like paint brushes.

Patterns
Can children continue a pattern with the spiders? Can they create an AB, or ABB pattern?

                                                                      

Literacy
Children draw a spider web on a paper plate. They can write a story about a spider on the back of the plate.

Arachnoids
What’s the difference between a spider and an insect? How many legs does a spider have? How many legs on 2 spiders? 3 spiders?

Sticky Drippy Spiders

Your students will also be delighted with this bottle. Pour about 1 cup of clear corn syrup in a plastic bottle. (The amount you need will depend on the size of the bottle. I really like to use larger round containers, but this was the only one I had on hand.) Add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring and swirl around to make orange. Add a few plastic spiders and watch them do their thing. (I used spider rings and cut the ring part off. I also put in a few bats.)

            

Spider Puppet
You will need paper plates, construction paper, an old sock, markers, and a stapler to make this project. Decorate two plates to look like a spider’s body. Cut eight 8” x 1 12” strips for the spider’s legs. Glue 4 legs on either side of the body. Staple the plates together around the sides where the legs are glued. Draw a face on the sock and then stick it through the center of the plates.



Spider Soup
This was one of my favorite Halloween activities! Get a large industrial size can of chicken noodle soup. Remove the wrapper and cover with construction paper. Write “spider soup” on the label. Take two packages of ramen noodles and crush. Put in a paper lunch sack and write “spider webs” on the front of the sack. Explain to the children that you’ll be having spider soup for snack. Show them the can and just LISTEN to their comments. Open the can and put it in a crock pot. (Someone will be sure to comment that they see spider legs and meat!) Show them the sack and explain that you will end crunchy spider webs to make it better. Dump those in and slowly cook until it is warm. Serve in paper cups.



Spider Applause

Bend down thumbs and touch four fingertips from each hand. Tap gently! That’s the spider applause you get for using these ideas!

BAT WAIT! WHAT ABOUT BAT RINGS?

                       

Bats in a Cave
Make a cave from a disposable bowl by turning it upside down and cutting an arch as shown. Display a certain number of bats. Put some in the cave and ask children, "How many do you see? How many do you think are in the cave?"
