Pumpkin Play

Pumpkins Here, Pumpkins there.  Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere!

Pumpkins orange, pumpkins green.  All the pumpkins are nice and clean!

Hmmm.  Which ones do I want?

I know he'll pick me! I'm the biggest pumpkin!

I know he'll pick me.  I'm the roundest pumpkin!

Mrs. Pie will take these three pumpkins!

Jolly wolly pumpkin face.  You're happy, tell us why?

I'm glad to be a pumpkin FACE.... and not a pumpkin pie!

"Wunst they wuz a little boy who wouldn't say his prayers."  (James Whitcomb Riley poem Little Orphant Annie)

Riding on a broomstick for the poem Old Mrs. Witch!

The children in Mrs. Stites' first grade class performed a pumpkin play for the kindergarten through 3rd grade classes.  The children did a very nice job memorizing their parts and performing the play.
Afterwards they recited several poems including Indian author James Whitcomb Riley's poem "Little Orphant Annie".  What a wonderful learning experience to celebrate fall!
