Pumpkin Science!

Today we began pumpkin week by exploring a small pumpkin. We tested to see if pumpkins sink or float. We used a scale to find the weight of our pumpkin. We measured the circumference (distance around) our pumpkin and the height! After that, I cut the top of the pumpkin off and all the students got to help clean the seeds, pulp, and flesh out of the pumpkin as a sensory experiment! Looking forward to more pumpkin fun this week!

Today we became “surgeons” to determine whether the “bones” (sentences) were broken or complete and discussed with our teams how we could fix the broken bones to make them complete! It was a good time! Enjoy the pictures below and have a great weekend!  I also added a couple pictures I snapped at recess and then one of the 4th graders having their safety talk with Mr. Veit! We go over drop off and dismissal procedures each year to remind students how to be safe on the big flat.
