Our Literary Pumpkin

Every year, each class at CCE decorates a pumpkin (or pumpkins!) that are inspired by a book. Our class chose the book, "Ping Pong Pig." In the book, the main character, a cute pig named Ping Pong, is very selfish. He does not like to help the other animals on the farm. Instead of doing chores, Ping Pong spends all day trying to learn to fly!  However, his antics usually get him into trouble and cause more work for the other animals.  Tired of his shananigans, the animals build Ping Pong a trampoline in hopes that he will stay out of their way.  Ping Pong loves his trapoline because it feels like he is flying!  Ping Pong finally decides to help the other animals on the farm as a way to thank them for his awesome trampoline.  He uses the trampoline to help all the other animals finish their chores. For example, he uses the trampoline to paint the barn, stack the hay, and pick the apples.  In the end, Ping Pong learns that being a helpful pig is more rewarding than being a selfish pig.

Here are some pictures of our little artists painting pumpkins. Our display, along with all the other classes', can be seen in the front foyer of CCE.
