Pumpkin Activity

Hi Families!
Instead of a regular blog today, I wanted to share how great this morning was!
* I did want to remind you that Thursday, the 5th, is an early release day with dismissal at 12:30.
We had a great math activity this morning!   Students voted which pumpkin they thought would be the one with the most seeds.  Then each group pulled the pulp out of the pumpkin and made a pile of seeds.  After that they estimated how many seeds they had in their pumpkin.  Then it was time to count!  Each table did a great job making groups of 10 to count the seeds more easily!  Our results are below…we were amazed at the number!
The students did an amazing job!  They really worked together, shared materials, kept pulp under control and on the table, helped each other if they finished before another table, kept voices at a good level and worked so carefully on counting!  They even earned a baseball from me!  Very proud of them all! Thank you to everyone who donated pumpkins!
Here are some pics from today!  These were before things got really messy!
Enjoy the weekend!
