The Pumpkin Project
The Wonderful Ones have worked this week learning about the life cycle of the pumpkin. We read several good books that you can find on our Shelfari list. The non-fiction, or informational texts, helped us to understand about the stages of growing pumpkins.
We added our mind notes to our science journals. We are using a special model to study vocabulary. We work on thinking of examples, non-examples, characteristics, and definitions of our new vocabulary words.
We also enjoyed learning a new vocabulary word this week, tendrils. We decided to investigate the tendrils at the pumpkin patch Monday on our field trip. We are thinking that they work together to connect the vines. We also think we should walk carefully so we don’t trip on the vines that are hooked together with these tendrils.

Wow! Gail Gibbons has a pumpkin book! Thanks for sharing about your pumpkin research! The 2B Flying Pigs are out of school on Fall Break, but we will be using pumpkins to do math in about 2 weeks. You have done a fine job with your pumpkin research! We are cooking pumpkin bread at my house in Memphis tonight. Have a nice weekend!
