Our Jack-o-Lantern

We are scientists and we have been studying about pumpkins. We read stories, had discussions, made observations, and last week, we touched and smelled the inside of our class pumpkin! The children watched me carve our pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern.

We created a web of  words that we thought described the inside of the pumpkin.

We measured, drew pictures, and counted pumpkin seeds. Our small pumpkin had many seeds, much more seeds than a bigger pumpkin! We learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin, and most importantly, we had a fun week!

Ask your child to tell you what they know about pumpkins.
