First grade pumpkin investigation! On Tuesday, the kiddos worked through each first grade classroom. In Mrs. Page's room, we learned about the pumpkin lifecycle. At the end, they planted a seed in hopes of starting a new cycle! In Mrs. Seibert's room, everyone explored the different properties of pumpkins. They weighed, measured, and looked into density! In Miss Pauling's room, we learned about the properties of leaves. We researched the reason why leaves change color. Then, we made our own leaf creations!
