I don't like carving pumpkins. I don't really like pumpkin flavored or scented things. However, I think they're cute and have ceramic ones in my house.
I checked with my students and they all celebrate Halloween, so I put up this banner in my classroom:
My students also requested a fall scent for our classroom diffuser, so I bought an apple cinnamon one. For me, it's worth $5 to make them happy and have them feel like it's their classroom too.
At my new school, we do a pumpkin decorating contest. As a class, we will vote on a book character to paint on our pumpkin. I posed the question to my students on weebly (our class blog) and of the 30 responses, 28 of them are for Percy Jackson. Well I guess we don't have much of a say!
One student wants to also add a trident (Poseidon), skull (Hades), and lightning bolt (Zeus). I'm letting them take the reins and while we may not win, I will be proud that my students completely designed and painted the Percy Pumpkin!
