Pumpkins, Pumpkins Oh My

It's all about the pumpkin.  This past week we have been immersed in pumpkins.  I asked for some donations and ended up with enough pumpkins to put the kids in pairs to share.  We got gooey and messy pulling out the seeds, we counted the seeds and then roasted them.  We also predicted if the pumpkins would sink or float and estimated their circumference. Currently we are watching our pumpkin grow a pumpkin.  We tossed some dirt into a pumpkin, leaving all of its seeds and pulp.  After a week, it started sprouting.

Everything we did last week had a pumpkin theme to it.  For math, we used my Fabulous Fall Math Centers and a few items from my Halloween Spooktacular Math and Literacy Centers.

I also used this from  A Monster-ous Unit from Mrs. Hoffer's Spot

We finished the week with a great art project that was math related.  We made a pumpkin glyph using the unit from Miss Kindergarten

How exciting that your pumpkin sprouted!!! I am still on maternity leave... 2 more weeks off for me! I have to admit that I am missing all the fun pumpkin activities. Probably my favorite time of year!

I was so surprised that it sprouted as it was starting to rot as well
Thanks for stopping by Jennifer and HAdar
