Pumpkin Fun

Our class has been learning about measurement by using pumpkins.  We have measured the weight, height and circumference of our pumpkins.  The kids have watched videos of a pumpkin's life cycle and we have sequenced the life cycle.  We read a book about picking apples and pumpkins then made a journal entry about the connections we made to the story.

All this pumpkin work has me thinking about Halloween.  In order to maintain a sense of calm during the day at school, I'm asking parents to not send costumes with their children on Halloween.  We will make masks at school instead.  We will also enjoy some orange and black snacks.  If you have any healthy snack ideas please contact me by e-mail (broper@svrsu.org) or by calling 882-7585.
