This three-dimensional craft features the pumpkin life cycle. Included are detailed instructions with illustrations and photos to make assembly a snap!

Full Color Posters, Big Book, and Student Book

The information is provided in three different formats.

• There are gorgeous full-color posters to put on the wall for reference during the unit.
• The same posters are set up for printing and making a big book to read to the class and make available to the students. (This can be done in comb binding or a three-ring binder.)
• There is also a smaller full-color student version for reading instruction. If you prefer a black and white line art student book, the same content is available in that format with clip art for coloring.

Important terms and words are illustrated with gorgeous photos. Use the cards on your word wall or laminate and put on a ring for reference at your writing center.
