It's Pumpkin Week!

There's been a lot of pumpkin talk this week. We had a student bring in some mini pumpkins that were green, blue, yellow, white and orange! We couldn't believe pumpkins came in those colors. 
The students used them to compare sizes, create shapes, and make patterns. You will notice on some of the pictures students used their hands to measure which one was tallest.

Students also make pumpkins out of playdoh. They didn't know what a Jack-o-Lantern was, so then they decide they wanted to make their own!









Pumpkin BRAINS!

We are very excited to have our own pumpkin in our classroom!  On Friday, we got to investigate it through measuring it with cubes.  We also drew a picture of our class pumpkin with our block towers next to it, and we recorded how many blocks high our pumpkin was.
