This week the students have enjoyed completing a "Pumpkin Investigation"! We began the week with an overview of how pumpkins are grown using picture cards. We then worked on one part of our investigation chart each day. The students used observation and investigation to describe the outside of a pumpkin, count how many "lines" were on the outside of the pumpkin, and to describe the inside of a pumpkin after it was carved. We also voted on which type of jack o' lantern the classes wanted to carve.

The afternoon class had a head start on the activities since they did not have school on Friday.

| The afternoon class spent a little time hanging out with Dobby on Thursday as well! |
Friday morning the a.m. class completed their pumpkin investigation by carving their jack o'lantern and describing the inside of their pumpkin.
The afternoon class decided to change up their design a bit and go with vampire teeth! Spooky!
