Our Pumpkin Adventure Begins!

Thank you to all the families that have sent in pumpkins for our Pumpkin Unit. We began our unit this week learning that pumpkins are not always orange! What an amazing fact to start the unit. Most of us (including me) were amazed by all the different colors that pumpkins can be! Even blue! This is a picture of a blue pumpkin from our Class State, Massachussetts!



We started learning about pumpkins by listing all of our questions about pumpkins. Most students wanted to know what different types of pumpkins are there?
We have learned that pumpkins are not only different colors, but we can also sort them by size! We used pumpkins in our class to sort by their size and then make pumpkin patterns :). Check out the three part pumpkin pattern created by our
students!
