Five pages after the cover. Page 1 is a life cycle poster with 6 stages from seed to orange pumpkin. Page 2 has pictures to cut and glue in order.

Can I use the Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Activity Pack at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade science activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 2nd Grade pumpkin life cycle resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are pumpkin life cycle resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these pumpkin life cycle resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
