The two pumpkins in our class were used today in our math exploration to investigate circumference and estimation. We used yarn to estimate the circumference around each pumpkin and then we cut a hole in both of them and reached inside to claim as many seeds as we possibly could. Estimates ranged from 102 to in the thousands and thousands! Low and behold as we counted each and every seed, we discovered that one pumpkin had 350 seeds while the other of similar size produced 560 seeds. I'll take them them home tomorrow and bake them to share for a snack later in the week. This afternoon Madame Morgan came by and sang some French songs and students created a French monster by following directions in this new language. Remember that tonight is homework night. If the paper gets misplaced you can get another at our website. If you need a 100's chart it's also there under Handy Handouts to print out whenever you need.
