We have had a busy day today!  

• We carved our classroom pumpkin and made a guess at how many seeds were in our pumpkin.  Ask your child the scientific term for making a guess.  Many of us are amazing scientists.  All of the students had a chance to clean out the pumpkin.  They had very descriptive words to describe what they felt.  Ask your child what they thought? 
• We labeled six important pRTS (seeds, stem, skin, flesh, pulp and leaf) .  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I884JkS_aFg
•  We had 737 seeds in our pumpkin.  The grade 1's learned it's quicker to count by 10's rather than 2's and 5's.

• We tried to use the computers again today to log on to Raz-Kids.  It's getting better, but we need to work on learning our student numbers.  It will get easier as we practice.  All of the students have their numbers and passwords written on a card.
• This afternoon, we had gym and music.
• At the end of the day we finished labeling our pumpkins, inside and out.  We also tasted pumpkin seeds.  Ask your child what they thought of them.

Have a great night!
