Google Hangout and Pumpkin Exploration

We've been busy doing so many wonderful things in Room 8 these days!  Last Friday we had our first Google Hangout with our friends in North Carolina!  Students got to share their thoughts about our Global Read Aloud book, A Boy Called Bat.  It was so nice to be able to talk with each other in the moment!

On Tuesday of this week, we had some wonderful volunteers come in to help us with our Pumpkin Exploration.  Thank you to Mrs. Emig, Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. Sheehan, Mrs. Bryson, and Mrs. Froio.  We're sorry Mrs. D'Amore was unable to join us for the fun!
Everyone had such a great time measuring and weighing their pumpkins, checking to see if their pumpkins and other items would float, and then carving and counting all of the seeds in their pumpkins.  Students were surprised to see how many hundreds of seeds they had!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!
