Red Ribbon Week: Crazy Sock Day

This morning began with a Citizenship Awards Assembly and whole school Flag Salute.

We started the morning looking at a pumpkin and making observations. We decided that it is smooth, it is heavy, and it is hard. We cut into it and had the children smell it. Then we looked inside and estimated how many seeds were inside. (Estimates ranged from 8 to 1000) Then, just like scientists, we counted the seeds. Each child came and counted 10 seeds into a cup. Once we had ten cups we put them together to make 100. There ended up being 417 seeds! We read Pumpkin Eye and Hoot.

Our day ended with Mrs. Mathur reading the class A Case of the Stripes. (a nod to by choice for crazy sock day)

We also acted out and sang 5 Little Pumpkins!
