We had a very busy but fun day today! For our math lesson this morning we did a pumpkin investigation. Students worked in teams to measure their pumpkin's height and circumference, weigh the pumpkin, count its creases, and make predictions about the number of seeds inside. We then opened up the pumpkins and counted the seeds, sorting them into groups of 10 on sorting mats. Students also made predictions about the number of seeds in Mrs. Parkin's pumpkin. This was a fun, seasonally-appropriate introduction to our measurement unit (which we will start tomorrow) and a nice reminder of estimation and counting by 10s.

In the afternoon, students performed their readers' theater scary stories for Mrs. Colfer's class. Everyone did an amazing job of using expression and volume to get the message of the stories across to the audience. They are on the road to becoming truly fluent readers! I've embedded the videos of their performances in a separate post. Enjoy!
