Time to carve the pumpkins

October 25, 2012

Welcome Pumpkin Carvers,

We will indeed carve pumpkins this morning.  First though, we have some data to collect.  Please wash your hands, order your lunch and read this message.  Next, please put away all of your homework supplies.  (I will check those later!) You will need a pencil, your learning log and your pumpkin.  Using the chart you built yesterday, please estimate each measurement and then accurately measure your pumpkin.  It will be interesting to see how our data compares to each other's.

When you are done with your data collecting, please write the words Pumpkin Carving Day at the top of the next page in your learning log.  How many words can you make using just those letters?!

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
