This month I joined in with a few bloggers to put together printables for pumpkins. Pumpkins are a favorite part of fall for me. I love decorating with them, large, small, tiny, they are so fun. Of course, I love baking with them too.

Here are a few printables I put together. My goal was to create some items for the older children. I hope I accomplished this. Please visit the other bloggers who also made printables.

This is The Pumpkin, a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier. It is a short but sweet study on the poem.

Okay, this is most likely for the younger crowd. The story of the Discontented Pumpkin has a lesson to be learned. It includes a spot for the student to illustrate the story and to tell its meaning.

You can also add scripture on being content. (kjv)

• Proverbs 17:22 – A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
• Proverbs 14:30 – A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
• 1Timothy 6:6-7 – 6. But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
• Philippians 4:11-13 – 11. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Another one for the younger crowd. 🙂 There are two selections of copywork in this download. The first is titled, Five Little Pumpkins and the other is titled, A Pumpkin Story. They both include:

• A narration outline
• A question or two on capitalization pertaining to proper nouns
• I included a couple matching notebooking pages in case more room was needed for the copywork.
