How Many Seeds Are In A Pumpkin?
Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet!

October Portfolio
After two months of practicing our "Frog Jump" letters and working on our drawing skills, we got to add another page to our Kindergarten Portfolio. It was amazing to see the difference in detail in our pictures and how much neater our names looked!
Fall Trees
We went outside and took "mental pictures" of trees in our schoolyard. Then, we got to paint what those trees looked like, using some lines that Mr. McCullough set up as branches, as well as brown, green, grey, red, yellow and orange paint!
Witching Water Table
With the help of the Jackman Daycare, our water table has been turned into a spooky sight, with various tools, plastic lab equipment, and even eyeballs! It was fun making things like witches soup, or experimenting with small water pumps.
Boneyard Dig
Our sand table was full of bones and old animals, so we got to dig it up and see what we could find!
Other Things We Did
We completed some of our pumpkin experiments! Here's what we learned;
- You can tell how old a pumpkin is by how many lines it has on the outside. We had three pumpkins in the class - large, medium and small - and figured out that they were all the same age because they all had the same number of lines! We also guess that, since they all came to the class together, they all came from the same store, so they probably also all came from the same pumpkin patch.
- Our prediction about pumpkins floating was RIGHT! All three of our pumpkins floated!
The letter "D" was added to our Jolly Jingle list, and we used it to figure out clues about where to stand in the room ("Line up at the place that starts with the "D" sound!")
Mr. Plytas created a Pumpkin Patch obstacle course in the GPR, and we all got to move around it using Scooter Boards! It was lots of fun, with most people's favourite part being wheeling under the mats!
We had our Halloween Parade on Thursday afternoon, walking through the schoolyard to Chester Avenue, then onto the Danforth, then back up Jackman Avenue before stopping for photos in the schoolyard! It was a lot of fun and, boy, did we look amazing!
Our Halloween craft was making "Baby Boo" Pumkins! We used paints, glue, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, leaves, rhinestones, pom-poms - whatever we could find to make the most amazing little pumpkin we could! Once they dry, they'll be coming home for everybody to see!
Herman the Worm came back, this time causing all sorts of Halloween mischief!
We had our first surprise fire drill, and everybody was super brave and quiet! Good work!
