Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins! We have started our investigation of pumpkins, integrating language (reading books about pumpkins, oral discussions to build vocabulary, learning about the 5Ws and H in asking questions to guide our inquiry) and math (counting the number of seeds, measuring the pumpkins). Next week, we will continue our exploration by roasting the seeds to make a delicious snack, and write simple sentences about pumpkins.
I took some pictures from our messy, but informative, learning about pumpkins today, and I will post them when I get a chance to (I will blur out the faces of the students, but you will see what they were doing).
Here is the homework assignment for this
