Mrs. Carson's class studied about pumpkins in class. They learned about the different types of pumpkins, the life cycle of a pumpkin, parts of a pumpkin, and how you make different foods with pumpkins. Students enjoyed eating a crust-less pumpkin pie last Friday and making a jack o'lantern in class today. Here are a few pictures as they were learning. The kiddos had fun with their study!
