It's all about recycling and pumpkins this week

Thanks to all of our families for participating in conferences this past week. Helene and I enjoyed the opportunity of talking with each of our families and learning more about our Superstars.

Pierce County Public works visited the classroom last week and taught the children more about recycling. We are so lucky to have these resources available to us. We also spend some time studying pumpkins. We weighed them and measured them. We took out all the seeds and counted them with the help of the Navigator class. It was amazing how many seeds were in those pumpkins and how many different ways there are to count them. Some people counted by groups of ten and some used groups of five and some counted them one by one. Hard to believe this was hands on math--it seemed just like fun!
