Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee!

We had a lot of fun with pumpkins this week.  We turned five large pumpkins into globes in Social Studies class.  The children had to place the continents in the correct locations using the equator and prime meridian as a guide.  Then they labeled the oceans.

Then we had a fun lesson in math where we estimated the weight, circumference and number of seeds in  several pumpkins.  We worked in cooperative groups to measure and count the seeds in the pumpkins.  We discovered that our smallest pumpkin had more seeds than some of the larger pumpkins.  

Pumpkins were raffled off to the students.   Thank you to Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Pearsall Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Hood for helping out.
