Ms. Hill’s Super 2nd Graders

To celebrate October 31st, we gave 2 pumpkins a bath. We were trying to see if the pumpkin would float and most people thought it would sink. To our surprise the pumpkin didn’t sink, but it floated! We decided the pumpkin floats because it has air inside. 

Next, we measured how tall and big it was. Then, Ms. Hill cut it open and we had to count ALL the seeds. Using little cups we counted the seeds by groups of ten. Then we put ten groups together into hundreds. The first pumpkin had 511 seeds and the second pumpkin had 407 seeds. (I wonder how much that is altogether?)  

Last, we washed the seeds, roasted them in the oven, and had them for a snack. 

What a pumpkin-licious day! 

Love, Ms. Hill’s class
