We have read many books about pumpkins, including one called "Pumpkin Jack." This book introduced the idea that once you carve a pumpkin it eventually starts to decompose, which inspired our investigation to see how long it will take for our own pumpkin Jack to decompose. We carved a pumpkin, put it in some soil, and we have been waiting.
After the first 6 days we immediately started to see a change. There is already mold growing inside Jack and it is growing out of his face holes!
Come see what pumpkin Jack looks like on day 17 at the Punkin' Chunkin' hosted by the PTA on November 1st up on the play fields next to our school. See the PTA website for more information.
We also did some investigations with a pumpkin including seeing if a pumpkin would travel straight or not when rolled.
In non-pumpkin related news, last week Mrs. C got to watch the class as they performed "Where The Wild Things Are" in Performing Arts with Ms. Nelson. Make sure to come to the Fall Harvest PTA Potluck this coming Wednesday, October 28th to K-2 students perform something they have been working on from Performing Arts too!
We are so excited for our field trip on Tuesday to Carpitino Brothers Farm! Check back for pictures from our adventures.
