On October 25, Covert Avenue School’s courtyard transformed into a vibrant, festive pumpkin patch for kindergartners.

Throughout October, the young scholars explored the fascinating life cycle of this beloved fall squash, discovering how a tiny seed grows into a magnificent pumpkin by reading “From Seed to Pumpkin” by Wendy Pfeffer. The students engaged their imaginations and senses as they completed an activity to note pumpkins’ colors, textures and sizes.

The excitement peaked as they eagerly visited the Covert Pumpkin Patch, complete with beautiful mums and an inflatable scarecrow. Each scholar strolled through the patch with excited smiles, picking out their very own pumpkin to take home. After selecting their perfect pumpkins, the fun continued as they decorated them with festive Halloween stickers.

The Covert Pumpkin Patch is an annual tradition that kindergartners eagerly anticipate in celebration of the autumnal season.
