Pumpkins At School

Thank you Gail, Rosie, and Ed...because of you, our class all got a pumpkin!  We have discussed many things we can do with them, including using shaving creme on them to practice our spelling words.  Then we'll take them home for jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin bars, and pumpkin pie!  Students will get their names put into the bucket for a drawing for every new thing they do with their pumpkin.   http://agweb.okstate.edu/fourh/aitc/lessons/extras/recipes/pumpie.html  Check out this sit for Pumpkin Pie in a Bag, Pumpkin Ham Soup, Roasted Pumpkins, and facts about pumpkins.
