Pumpkins Part II

Hi parents!  I noticed something last week about my lack of blogging.  I know I've told you that Miss Hall is wonderful!  She truly is!  I noticed that in the past few weeks, I've been planning for TWO full time teachers.  So there has truly been no time to blog.  Both of us have been working on separate lessons x2! :)  So, my apologies for the lack of pictures and updates.  But when you have a great intern, you get TWO teachers every day! :)

Here is our Pumpkin Exploration Part II!  Get ready for picture overload!

Here are the kiddos working on our pumpkin exploration books!  Those are going to hang in our classroom for a bit and then they will come home!

Sorry those two were upside down?!?!?!

We predicted whether or not our pumpkin would sink or float. 

Most kids said "definitely sink,"  I mean it was HUGE! :)

They were SHOCKED to see that it FLOATED! :)

After we floated, we weighed our pumpkin!

A whopping 37 pounds!

BIGGEST PUMPKIN I'VE EVER HAD IN MY CLASSROOM thanks to the Heath Family!

After we weighed, the kids voted on which face to carve!

I carved but the kids cleaned it out!

They had to count out the seeds!

After they put the seeds in groups of 10, we counted them as a class!

We had 761 seeds in our pumpkin!  WOW!

Our pumpkin bread didn't work out so well, but we saved the day by having pumpkin PIE!

Despite some of those faces, EVERY single child voted that they liked it! :)

Thank to each of you who made these pumpkin activities happen!  We couldn't do it without you and appreciate you so very much!
