East High Street Elementary School recently hosted an exciting hands-on learning experience as students teamed up to carve pumpkins. This fun activity not only introduced them to a cherished fall tradition commonly celebrated in the U.S. but also provided a unique opportunity to practice new vocabulary in an interactive setting.

Amid the joy of scooping out pumpkin seeds, students eagerly engaged with words like “mouth,” “nose,” “eyes,” “pumpkin,” “seed,” “scoop,” and “carve.” This dynamic lesson allowed non-native English speakers to enhance their language skills in a supportive and enjoyable environment.

East High Street Elementary is dedicated to helping all students develop the language proficiency necessary for academic success and community engagement. By fostering confidence and effective communication, the school creates a nurturing atmosphere where students can thrive. This pumpkin-carving activity exemplifies the school's commitment to integrating seasonal traditions with learning, enriching the educational experience for every student.
