Pumpkin Day Pictures

Pumpkin Day Activities

Students completed activities with their pumpkins that linked to Language Arts, Science, Math, Art, and even Social Studies. Students predicted whether their pumpkins would sink or float in a huge tub of water, found the circumference of their pumpkins and the length of their stems, made inferences on the relationship between the ribs and size of their pumpkins, wrote pumpkin poetry, and painted their pumpkins. Some students even painted their pumpkin to look like the world! It was a pumtastic day!

Introducing environmental stewardship pictures

Introduction to Environmental Stewardship

Students had the opportunity to skype with environmental leaders, post to a blog, discuss their carbon footprint, use flip cams and digital cameras, feel a variety of Louisiana animal pelts and see bird beak skulls, vote with Activotes in a flip chart presentation, and collect data from our Coastal Roots plants in a rotational schedule. These activities were to introduce what the "I" means in stewardship. The students had a great time at all stations.
