North Babylon Students Get Crafty

A kindergarten class of the William E. DeLuca Jr. Elementary School recently participated in a pumpkin report.

NORTH BABYLON, NY - Mrs. Jodi Rebholz’s kindergarten class of the William E. DeLuca Jr. Elementary School participated in a pumpkin report, where students analyzed and compared pumpkins with parents and then decorated their pumpkin for display in the school courtyard.

To warm up for the activity, Mrs. Rebholz read Linda William’s “The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything,” where students participated in describing the sounds in the book’s narrative.

After that, students were put into groups for the pumpkin report and were guided by parents throughout the activity.

Students also estimated what shapes can be used to decorate a pumpkin.
