We're adding a new pumpkin to our patch!

On October 30th, first and second grade received some exciting news. The students came back from recess and had a special card on their desk. They were thrilled to have something special on their desk waiting for them. I let the kids read the cards to themselves and then we read them together. The card said, "We're adding a new pumpkin to our classroom patch!" On the inside it said, "Mrs. Muller is going to be a Mummy! April 2016." One student shouted out, "I knew it!"  They were all very excited. Many understood that I have a little baby in my tummy and a few thought I was going to be a mummy for Halloween. It was very cute.

For our Halloween assembly, each class had to decorate a pumpkin for a contest. We decorated our pumpkin by making it a baby. We added all our names and drawings of ourselves around the pumpkin to show that we are adding a new pumpkin to our classroom. It was a great way to share the news with the rest of the school.

The inside said, "Mrs. Muller is going to be a MUMMY!"

There surprise cards for when they arrived after recess.
