Pumpkin Investigation!

A mysterious box showed up in Pre-K and we had to use our senses to figure out what was inside! 

We tried lifting...

And shaking...

And listening...

But no peeking!!!

 
We guessed it....a big orange pumpkin! We were very excited!

Let the carving begin!

 
Respectful audience of scientists!

Time for investigating!

We discussed the meaning of our new vocabulary word, investigation!

We aren't so sure what to think of feeling the pulp and seeds!

Here is our Jack-O-Lantern!

Our Pumpkin Investigation chart with some of the pumpkin texts we read!

All smiles with our Jack-O-Lantern!

Interactive 5 Little Pumpkin poem! 

And for a pumpkin experiment...

Do pumpkins float or sink?

Big or small... they FLOAT....who knew?!?

That's a wrap for our Pumpkin Investigation!

We are now pumpkin experts!

Be sure to ask your child about the life cycle of a pumpkin, too!

Thanks for visiting!

Love, Pre-K :)

November Family Project!

This turkey (that was brought home) does not want to be eaten on Thanksgiving Day! Brainstorm together for some fun ways to disguise him so the farmer can’t find him when it’s time for dinner. Be creative and use any materials you want. Some ideas include a snowman, penguin, princess, superman, football player, bumble bee or anything that comes to mind! The idea of this project is to work together with your child!

Please return the completed project by Tuesday, November 13^th. The students will each take a turn sharing their project with the class. These will be displayed for all to see! Be sure to title your turkey (attached); for example: “The Barford Family’s Princess Turkey”. Some examples are included below. Inspired by the booksTurkey Trouble and Turkey Trick or Treat by Wendi Silvano.

Let us know if you have any questions. Each year we are amazed by the creativity and can’t wait to see what this year has in store!

 Thank you and HAVE FUN!

                             

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
