Pumpkin Week

 We focused on pumpkins this week. We are so thankful for the donation of pumpkins for each student! 

We learned about the parts of a pumpkin and made a simple diagram of the inside and outside. We counted seeds and ended up with 464 (at least) that we counted using 100s charts. 

Scientists use tools to measure, so we measured the height of the pumpkin using cubes and the circumference of the pumpkin using links. We also counted the lines on the outside of the pumpkin.

We watched some videos from my garden this summer about how a pumpkin grows, then drew the steps of a pumpkin life cycle. 

Next week, we are going to learn about bats. In Math, we finished numbers 6-10 and are taking a bit of a break from numbers. We are going to be sorting objects in different ways! In reading, we will be learning about tools and continuing to use our super reader powers! 

Thank you for signing up for Parent Teacher Conferences! On November 4th, I will send home a page to help guide our video or phone conference. I will also send home the directions for attending/logging on with your packet. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
