Our Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

We had a great day at the pumpkin patch today! It was cold, but we were still able to conduct our science experiments, explore the corn maze, eat lunch, and pick the perfect pumpkin.

Back at school, we estimated and weighed our pumpkins, drew a picture of a jack-o-lantern, and got out our Digital Blue microscope. We were able to examine the parts of the pumpkin flower and vine. It was very interesting! We took snapshots and included them in our Smilebox creation.

Don’t forget to check out our pumpkin patch field trip stories. We scanned them and added them to our wikispace student pages.

Lincoln, Valentine’s Day, and more.

We had a wonderful day today with Mrs. Alice coming to sing, sharing great books, reading our valentines with our new reading skills, and continuing our study about Abraham Lincoln.  To celebrate his 200th birthday yesterday, we took pictures of a penny with our Digital Blue microscope.

Enjoy a three day weekend.  We are off for Presidents’ Day, but look for blog posts during the weekend.  I have a Valentine’s Day surprise for Saturday and a Presidents’ Day surprise for Monday.  Leave us a comment and we’ll write back!
