          This week we have continued doing activities about pumpkins.  We carved our class pumpkin on Monday and sorted the pulp and seeds.  For large group, we cooked the seeds and tasted them. Eight children liked the way they tasted while seven didn’t like the taste.  We have also planted our pumpkin seeds and predicted what would happen to them.  We also used describing words to explain the taste/feel of the seeds.  This week we also read the book Pumpkin Jack and predicted what our pumpkin would do if we sat it outside for a long period of time. 

 

- Please send an extra pair of clothes for cold weather.  We will be sending home your child’s extra warm weather clothes as soon as we receive the others.
