The Pumpkin and Pumpkin Seeds

On Friday October 30th, we carved our two big pumpkins in the classroom. The girls and boys really liked cleaning out the insides of the pumpkin.

 

 

 

 

"It's so yucky!" S.A.

"It's like slime!" C.M.

We predicted which pumpkin would have the most seeds inside. Turned out that the bigger pumpkin had more seeds. Then we washed the pumpkin seeds and set them aside.


The girls and boys had come up with a plan for a  happy Jack-o-Lantern and an angry Jack-o-Lantern. Then we turned off the lights, carved the faces and placed the battery candles inside.


It was a fun day full of costumes and Halloween delights.


Happy Halloween everyone!!!
