Pumpkinology!

My K kiddos paired with 4th grade to do some pumpkin study!  What a fun morning it was.


We drew some pumpkins.


 We tasted pumpkin in a can, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin seeds.


We estimated pumpkin seeds.  The big one had 403 and small one had 223, we didn't count the gourd...


 We counted pumpkin lines.


We tested to see if a pumpkin could sink or float...  It floats!  I learned something new! :)


We measured several pumpkins with cubes, chains, inches, and feet.

At the end, the kiddos put together a book with their findings.  It was a fun morning! Each pair had a sheet so they could record their findings and they each got their own book.   When the kiddos were all finished, we read Liz Curtis' book, The Pumpkin Patch Parable and made a Happy pumpkin.
Happy fall to all!!
