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!

  3. Pumpkin day was really fun. I liked decorating my pumpkin. I wish we could have carved one to see if it would still float.

  4. I liked measuring and weighing the pumpkins, but my favorite part was painting my pumpkin.

  5. I really liked Pumpkin Day. It was so much fun painting them. I was excited to be able to paint it however I wanted to. The whole class smelled like Fall because of all of the pumkins. I'm just glad that I did't have to carve mine because I think the inside of a pumkin looks gross!
