Pumpkin Math and Science









As part of our October Social Studies we have been reading about pumpkins. I like to try and integrate subjects as much as possible. So, on Wednesday this week we did "Pumpkin Math and Science". Each student received their own little book with the title "Pumpkin Math and Science". We did some math and science activities with pumpkins. Each child was able to keep their little pumpkin to take home and finish so of the activities with their families. It was a fun activity for our class! I hope your child has shared what they learned about their pumpkin. We counted how many lines on the pumpkin and used a string to estimate the measurement around the center of the pumpkin. Thanks to Bubba's Produce in East Garland for the cute little pumpkins again this year! :)

Travis loved this at home assignment. Unfortunately I had just put cleaner in the sink and tub so he had to wait for it to get scrubbed to see if his pumpkin sank or floated. What a great way to make school so much fun. Thanks!
