Fall Tasting Celebration!

Today was the last day of our Fall PBL, so we needed to celebrate! We had a "fall tasting" celebration where we tasted all sorts of flavors of fall. We made apple sauce in the classroom in my crock pot (and that received a lot of positive reviews... we have some little chefs on our hands!) We also tasted a pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice donuts, an apple pie, candy corn, and apple cider! We had such a good time celebrating all of our hard work and all that we learned during our Fall PBL. 

Here are some pictures of us enjoying our fall foods...

A GREAT way to celebrate our hard work! Thank you to everyone who sent in food / supplies for our class!!

Our Pumpkin Investigation

This week has been an absolute blast!! We have learned all week about pumpkins, and got to experience picking a pumpkin. Today, we conducted a pumpkin investigation to answer some of our questions. We wondered, "What does a pumpkin feel like on the inside?" and "How many seeds are in our pumpkin?"

First, we recalled what we learned this week about pumpkins...

Then, we cut open our pumpkin and got to cleaning it out! If you look closely at the faces, you can tell there were a lot of "ews" exclaimed over the sliminess of the pulp!

Once everyone had a turn, I showed everyone what the inside looked like after most of the seeds and pulp were cleaned out. Then, I finished cleaning out the remainder of the seeds. 

Then, once the seeds were cleaned out, we counted them! We decided to count by groups of ten.

We had 41 groups of ten and one left over. Our pumpkin had 411 seeds!! That's a lot of seeds!! 

We had so much fun this week learning about pumpkins. Next week, we will wrap up our fall unit and introduce our Native American teepee to leave up all month.
