About the Program
Prairie Pumpkins combines both social studies and science to enrich students understanding of Halloween traditions. This program looks at how Halloween was practiced at the turn of the century, where these traditions came from, and how they were brought from the old country with new immigrants. Taking the creepy out of traditional Halloween critters, we look at the role bats, spiders, and snakes in our local ecosystem. Students will learn how they can protect these creatures and ensure their survival. This program will be done through a combination of stories, artifact demonstrations, and activities
