We Have the Guts!

10/31/2014

First and Second Graders have spent some time investigating pumpkins lately! This week we read a book called “How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?” We’ve cut our pumpkin open and used our hands to scoop it out its guts! So next week we will write about the experience of feeling pumpkin guts. After Mrs. Waterman takes the seeds home to roast them, students will divide into teams and count them. Everyone wrote down their guess as to how many seeds were in our pumpkin. Stay tuned to find out who made the closest guess!

Annually, Lani Gepford, the Pre K/K teacher, celebrates Scarecrow Day. Students in her class dress up and silently "scare" the other classrooms in the school building. This is not only a fun activity for all of the classes involved, but helps introduce the younger students to the older students, which builds a sense of community.
