October is for Pumpkins!

Kindergarten has been learning all about pumpkins! We read the book Pumpkin Jack by Will Hubble to learn about the pumpkin life cycle. Then we carved our very own Pumpkin Jack. Pumpkin pulp is NOT a favorite in kindergarten! But roasted pumpkin seeds were a surprising hit for some students. We came back from Fall Break to see that our pumpkin had started to decompose. Eww! He quickly went outside for us to observe from a safe distance. Hopefully we will see a pumpkin sprout in the spring. We also made pumpkin pies in the classroom. Ask a kindergarten student what their favorite ingredient was. You can bet it was the whipped cream on top!
