All three classes carved a jack o’ lantern this week. First, I cut open the top of the pumpkin. Next, each student was given a chance to reach in and help empty the pulp and seeds (we later got to try the seeds after they were baked). Then, the carving began!
The Seals picked the shapes for their eyes, nose, and mouth. The Penguins decided to design their pumpkin after the jack o’ lantern in the book, The Biggest Pumpkin Ever! The Polar Bears voted between three designs, and decided they wanted their jack o’ lantern to say, “Trick or Treat.” They all turned out great!
Also, to go along with the pumpkin theme this week, Mrs. Bloom baked pumpkin muffins for everyone! They were delicious and gobbled right up! Thanks Mrs. Bloom.
