Pumpkin time!

In first grade we read How Many Seeds In A Pumpkin by Margaret McNamara.  I probably enjoy this a little too much because like so many others I really like pumpkin but particularly in the form of a pumpkin spice latte or muffin. I read this book with first grade and kindergartners and I bring in 3 different sized pumpkins and just like the class in the book, we take guesses about which pumpkin will have the most seeds. We also estimate about how many seeds will be in each pumpkin which is always entertaining. Next week I will come back with the seed count for each pumpkin so my children and I will get to have some fun at home. We will also have ready to carve pumpkins. Enjoy the fall.
