Our pumpkin pie day turned out great!
We started by learning how to write "how-to texts." These texts are non-fictional pieces. They instruct us on how to do something. We wrote a paper about "How to Make a Pumpkin Pie." Students just guessed on these papers. They turned out pretty cute. One student said, "First, go to Walmart. Next, find the pie section. Then, buy the pie. Lastly, take it home and eat it." On Thanksgiving morning, that was sounding pretty good to me. ☺
Students then learned how to write a recipe. They wrote the entire recipe of how to make a pumpkin pie from scratch. On pumpkin pie day, students had to follow the recipe, all on their own. They did fantastic and had so much fun! It was a great experience.
Thank you so much to all of the parents who donated supplies, and especially thanks to those who donated their time. Students were able to create a wonderful...and delicious...second grade memory. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
