Pumpkin Fun

Today was the last day of October and time for some math fun with pumpkins.  The kids had to estimate and measure the height, diameter, circumference, weight, and how many pumpkin seeds there are in a large pumpkin.  We could not have accomplished this lesson without the help of our wonderful parents!  When we were done with the educational value of our pumpkins we pulled out some creativity and carved them into jack o'lanterns.  Moving into reading and writing skills, we filled in a ven diagram comparing pumpkins and jack o'lanterns and then wrote a how-to paper on carving a pumpkin.  Enjoy some pictures from our day.

    This was so much fun and a great way to sneak in some math!
