Pumpkins Galore!

We had lots of fun learning all about pumpkins!

We made pumpkin glyphs.  Glyphs give us information!  These jack-o-lanterns are short and fat to show that we like Fall the best! 

Our pumpkins are tall and skinny because we like summer the best! 

This jack-o-lantern has triangle eyes to show that this child likes pumpkin pie! 

 Kasey's jack-o-lantern has circle eyes to show that she doesn't know if she likes pumpkin pie! 

 Josiah has a triangle nose because he likes to carve pumpkins!

 Reese likes to carve pumpkins too!  Actually, we all do!

These children have a scary mouth because they like scary jack-o-lanterns best! 

 Reese's jack-o-lantern has a happy mouth because she likes happy jack-o-lanterns the best!

 Dennis, Josiah, and Tyrese like silly jack-o-lanterns best!

 We are boys so our jack-o-lanterns have 1 vine!

 We are girls so our jack-o-lanterns have 2 vines!

 Daron and Devin

 We sorted our pumpkins by size!  

 We had 5 small pumpkins, 4 medium pumpkins, and 2 large pumpkins!

We recorded our data using tally marks!

 We conducted an experiment to see if pumpkins sink or float.

 We learned that pumpkins FLOAT!

 

 We dissected some of the pumpkins to learn about the parts of a pumpkin!

 We learned there are LOTS of seeds inside pumpkins!

 We took our pumpkins outside, scooped the pulp out with partners, and counted the seeds!

 Gorgeous day for counting pumpkin seeds outside!

 Look at all of the seeds that Nevaeh found! 

 We threw our pumpkin halves into the woods.  We're hoping to grow a pumpkin!
