We spent the week being scientists and observing and learning about pumpkins. We found out there are different kinds of pumpkins- big, small, bumpy, smooth, orange and even white! But they are all the same in important ways. Pumpkins are a kind of fruit because they have seeds on the inside and they grow on a vine. They have a hard shell and inside there is flesh, pulp and seeds. We enjoyed observing the outside and inside of our pumpkins, and then carved a pumpkin and named him “Spooky.”  

We enjoyed participating in our school Halloween parade at the end of the week!  Thanks to our class parents and volunteers for helping to make our week fun, from supplying pumpkins to helping get ready for the parade- your help is much appreciated!
