Pumpkin Week


Here is a picture of a members of our class holding their pumpkins after we lined them up from biggest to smallest. Our biggest pumpkin weighed 15.5 pounds and our smallest weighed 2.5 pounds. We had soooooo much fun!!! We will still be doing more pumpkin activities this week as we finish up our living organisms unit and study a little more in depth about seeds. Thank you for your support!!

On Friday, all of first grade will be doing a whole day about ice cream that comes from the story in our anthology, "Miss Jill's Ice Cream Shop." We will be be sequencing a recipe, making ice cream, creating mini-books, retelling the story by acting it out, and using play money to plan for and buy our ice cream toppings. I could use a couple of volunteers this Friday afternoon after lunch to help with the math portion. Please email me or call me if you are available. I only need two or three volunteers, so please let me know ahead of time. The ice cream unit is a good introduction for a gingerbread unit we do in December.

Your kids are awesome!!!
