Halloween Fun!

On Monday, October 30th, we had fun with pumpkins in Grade 1. Each table had their own pumpkin. The students illustrated their pumpkins, wrote about how they feltn to the touch , examined and then drew the inside of their pumpkin, etc. We estimated and then measured the height of our pumpkins using snap cubes.  We also estimated the number of seeds in our pumpkins. With the help of 100's charts and a lot of hard work, they worked together with their group to count the seeds in the pumpkins.  Table #1 counted 321 seeds, Table #2 counted 500, Table #3 counted 621 and Table #4 counted 312. That is a whomping 1,754 pumpkin seeds counted in grade 1!

After counting the seeds, we decided as a group on jack-o-lantern faces for our pumpkins and Mrs. Stratford carved them! On October 31st, we enjoyed our illuminated jack-o-lanterns during snack time while dressed in our Halloween costumes!
