Description
These Stumpkin activities give you a full week of fall reading lessons.
Stumpkin by Lucy Ruth Cummins is about a pumpkin waiting on the shelf of a pumpkin stand in New York City. One by one, the other pumpkins go home to become jack-o-lanterns, and Stumpkin worries because he has a stump instead of a stem. This Rooted in Reading unit gives you a full week of reading, vocabulary, and grammar lessons built around the book, paired with a nonfiction reader on how to carve a pumpkin.
