Pumpkin Day

Last Friday all the 1st graders at Nicholas's school celebrated pumpkin day. Since Nolan doesn't have school on Fridays, he got to join in on the fun.

It started with a pumpkin inspired snack. Eyes, Nose and Mouth are sugar cookies pieces which I put on an orange plate for an eatable jack o' Lantern! The kids loved them. Thanks Pinterest!


Here is Nicholas with 2 of his classmates enjoying the snack.




We then broke into groups for some fun. We weighted and measured our pumpkins including counting the lines it had. We then discovered that pumpkins float in water. They don't sink like we thought! We then cut it open and estimated and counted the seeds. The group then decided on what we wanted our pumpkin face to look like. Ours was a vampire pumpkin which they named Cee-Cee. Each kid got to crave out a piece.





The kids also got mini pumpkins which they colored on to make jack o' lanterns.
