Wednesday is our field trip!
Thursday and Friday we get to purchase popcorn!
Thursday we will visit the learning commons and get new books!
Friday is a half day!
Next Tuesday is Picture day!
We were super excited about the new additions to our classroom! Students immediately began to make their observations like scientists!
Almost immediately, we noticed that one of the pumpkins was not like the others.
We began to make our predictions about why it was different, and what would happen to it. We discussed how predictions are just guesses and its ok if we were wrong! That means we're learning :)

We learned a bit more about the lifecycle of a pumpkin, so we now know why the pumpkin is green - ask your child about it at home!
Like scientists do, we wanted to sketch our pumpkins as we observe them throughout the days. Today we did our first sketch! Students observed the pumpkins, talked about how the pumpkins felt and what else they noticed. We will continue to observe the changes each day!
Here are some pictures of us with our 'scientist hats' on
