Pumpkin Carving

We carved 5 pumpkins today. One for each group. One pumpkin had over 300 seeds in it! We liked making shapes on the pumpkins to make neat faces. The pumpkins are sitting outside our door and remind us of the "Five Little Pumpkins" poem. Miss Kirsten will try to take a picture of them before they go home today!

Pumpkins Everywhere!

Thank you to all our families who donated pumpkins to our classroom!

This week, your children will be measuring the circumference of pumpkins, comparing the weight of a pumpkin with another pumpkin, counting the seeds, examining the texture of the inside and the outside, counting the lines on the pumpkins, comparing sizes, and so much more! All that is learned will be compiled into a book your child has made. They are so excited about our pumpkin project!

Applesauce Adventures

Last Friday, our class made applesauce from scratch! Several students brought apples. I brought some sugar and cinnamon. I cut and peeled all the apples, then we put the apple slices in the
Crockpot on high. We added sugar, cinnamon, and a handful of sliced Hot Tamales. We stirred every now and then and let it cook for about 4 to 5 hours. Our room smelled wonderful!!! When it had cooked down, everyone got some to taste. Most everyone enjoyed it. Applesauce was a great way to use our 5 senses, reinforce the letter A, and see measurement in every day life. We also welcomed fall! :)
