We had a busy and fun filled Monday!
We started our inquiry about pumpkins today. We read a book called Pumpkin, Pumpkin by Jeanne Titherington to learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin.
We transformed our dramatic play area into a "Farmer's Market". Students and I created a list of items that were needed for our market. We found some items in our classroom and we borrowed some items from Mrs. Cox room. Some students helped Mrs. Melissa to change our doctor's clinic to a farmer's market. Some students helped make signs and some made fruits and vegetables out of Plasticine.
During our math time, we estimated and measured three of our pumpkins. We ordered them from heaviest to lightest. From tallest to shortest. We even measured their circumference using linking chains and measuring tape.
During our last block, our Grade 7 Math Buddies from Mrs. Erola's class helped us compose and decompose number 5.
Cheers!

They also helped us carve 7 pumpkins.
