This month the Stars have been working on Pumpkin STEAM activities. The Stars weighed, measured and visually compared an assortment of pumpkins. They estimated then counted the seeds by 10’s up to 100 seeds. They discovered that even little pumpkins have more than 100 seeds. The Stars also sequenced the life cycle of the pumpkin and we are still observing it outside as it decomposes. Their room was beautifully decorated with pumpkins the children painted.
