Nifty November

During the month of October we learned about pumpkins and their life cycle. 

Here we are planting pumpkin seeds so we can watch the seed turn to a sprout and then leaves. 

Oh the excitement!!!!



Now we wait and watch them grow and Grow and GRow and GROw and GROW!!!!




We decided to examine the roots of our pumpkin plants and see what happens to the plant in the soil. We observed that the roots had grown very long and went deep down into the soil reaching the bottom of the cups we planted the seeds in. The little seeds we planted had grown up and out of the soil AND grown down deep into the soil. SO COOL!!!!

We sang the story 'The Leaves Are Falling One By One' by Steve Metzger and then we wanted to go outside and have fun with the leaves!
