Last week we learned so much about pumpkins. We studied the life cycle and even observed a real pumpkin stalk, complete with the yellow flower and a baby pumpkin. We read a lot of entertaining fiction literature, too. We used our writing skills to make little non-fiction books about pumpkins. On Friday, we celebrated Pumpkin Day. We used our class pumpkin to estimate the seeds (we had 229), estimate the weight, circumference, and number of ribs (the vertical "lines" on a pumpkin). We carved a jack-o'-lantern, and felt the slimy seeds and pulp. We even sampled pumpkin seeds and pumpkin muffins! The students used their creative skills to decorate their mini-pumpkins. Here's a photo of some cool patterns we've been studying in math, too.
