Yesterday, we completed an estimation activity with an adorable, teeny tiny pumpkin (thanks, Mr. Slim!). Each student guessed the number of seeds hidden within the pumpkin. Some of the guesses were:
50
7
5
100
35
37
151
170
Then we rolled up our sleeves and dove head (or finger) first into the pumpkin goo. It was fun!
Each group was given a plateful of seeds to clean and count. After each group finished, we were shocked to find that our teeny tiny baby pumpkin held
549 seeds! Wow!
Then, we roasted the seeds in the oven and had a delicious and nutritious snack. Yum!
We also have a furry new friend in our classroom...meet Lucy!
