Maya had a fabulous time at the pumpkin patch! She enjoyed the tour while learning about the characteristics and uses of the pumpkins and gourds present, participated in an art center, and read fiction/non fiction pumpkin books while enjoying lunch in the shade with her peers. All of the students were excited to flip through the thematic books and make connections. It was rewarding to see Maya pick one up, take a break from eating, and truly enjoy reading for pleasure.
