In science, we have been learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin.  Above is the short clip we watched on how pumpkins for Libby's are grown. Below is sequencing activity we did with the pumpkin life cycle.  

Pumpkin Math With Our 5th Grade Buddies!

We love our 5th grade buddies!

They came in to help us out with our pumpkin observation math books.  We measured our pumpkins' height, weight, and circumference. We also did an experiment to see if our pumpkins would sink or float.  

Pumpkin Life Cycle

We have been learning lots about pumpkins this week!  Today in our Scholastic news, we got to play a game online where we put the life cycle in order.  The kids are so funny- they are now requesting that I add specific things to our site (which I love!) so here is the link to the newspaper/game: http://letsfindout.scholastic.com/issues/10_02_12/book 

Below is a short video we watched to learn how pumpkins grow through the seasons, specifically the harvest schedule and how they are turned into canned pumpkins!
