Bilingual Wednesdays- Pumpkins

October is the ideal month to learn about pumpkins, orange, scarecrows and crows either in English and Spanish.

My goals for this lesson:

To introduce and practice numbers 1 to 4 in Spanish

To relate numbers in their oral and written form

I introduced numbers 1 to 4 in Spanish while counting pumpkins and enjoy this funny poem in the flannel board.

4 calabazas divertidas

4 calabazas divertidas

crecieron en la granja

el granjero vino y tomó 1

entonces quedaron 3.

More verses:

 3 calabazas divertidas

2 calabazas divertidas

1 calabaza divertida

After counting our pumpkins using the flannel board set, we counted plastic pumpkins using counting mats.

I also made these pumpkins mats to use them as big counters. 

Then I invited children make funny pumpkins using their favourite art supplies.
