Pumpkin Palooza

Our learning this week had us taking a closer look at pumpkins and even digging deep inside them.
We learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin and were amazed that it takes 120 day to grow a pumpkin.  We are now trying to sprout some of our seeds in our classroom window . Our math focus was patterning with pumpkins and our "Messy Math" had us learning about estimating and counting the seeds inside a small pumpkin.  It was hard to believe that a tiny pumpkin could hold 322 seeds!

We read many books about pumpkins.  We noticed that all of our books ended by baking with pumpkins so that is exactly what we did.  We rounded out our week baking pumpkin muffins together.
