We got our pumpkin and we needed to dress and ready him for Friday.
When we opened him up, we found new pumpkin plants already growing! I put the plants in a plastic bag with some wet paper towel and taped it to one of the East windows until we get them in soil.
The students helped to clean him out.
We collected all the seeds into a bag and I will be roasting them tonight for a snack on Day 52!
If that were not enough, we had 3 good rotations too!
While the students were eating lunch, I had the opportunity to carve a jack-o-lantern. Pretty basic but he does have a nice looking disposition :-)
After recess, the students were introduced to a new Math Work activity. Addition Cross-Out is a dice game that they can play in pairs or in a trio beginning on Monday.
We made Word Wall Sentences.
We watched an adorable video called That's How a Pumpkin Grows.
Finally, we read How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? And did the Mathematics in the book to check the Mr. Tiffin's class' answers.
What will Day 52 be like?
NOTE: Since I will not be at school on Friday, I will not be able to grade homework until Monday, November 3, 2014. New homework will be available online this Friday but the hard copies will not be distributed until Monday.
