Learning with Pumpkins in 1st Grade

Today, Mrs. Winebaugh's class learned using pumpkins.  They learned about all the parts of a pumpkin and then completed a pumpkin investigation where they measured their pumpkins, counted the pumpkin's stripes and seeds and did a writing exercise about the best part of the investigation. You can see from the pictures that the students really enjoyed this activity.  For some of them, it was the first time they had ever the pulp and seeds of a pumpkin!
