This Thursday was Pumpkin Math day! Despite the smell (uhhhh), the kids had an awesome time being scientists and mathematicians. They predicted, experimented, measured, and weighed to discover the answers to questions about their particular pumpkin. One group counted 578 seeds, while others were shocked that their pumpkins floated! Some children got down and dirty pulling out the seeds and other group members shied away during this opportunity. It was so much fun watching them experiment!
Halloween Day=Hyper kids (even before sugar is even given)! This is a lesson I learned my first year of teaching! I will never forget it and come prepared each year. The students participated in Halloween centers. They played Pictionary, participated in a Pumpkin Race (our crazy center), played Bingo (our low-key center), and painted adorable mini pumpkins (thanks to Mrs. Hollowell). I could hardly recognize them with their costumes on. Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
Pumpkin projects came in today! Check out the creative bags and awesome artificial/real pumpkin characters!
