We practiced spelling by writing a word Mrs. Wanke gave the inside of our "snowball." Next, we would throw the snowball when Mrs. Wanke said, "Ready, aim, FIRE!" Then, we would quickly grab any snowball off the ground and checked the spelling of the word we just wrote. After, Mrs. Wanke would give us another word and we would do it all over again! SO MUCH FUN!

Pumpkin Jack
14 Days ago we read the story Pumpkin Jack.
After reading this story, we decided to carve our very own Pumpkin Jack and watch him rot in hopes of seeing the pumpkin life cycle come full circle.
Today was day 14 of our observations. We each took time to observe the changes to Pumpkin Jack, both outside and inside.
We noticed that his skin is wrinkly. His eyes and nose are caving in. We noticed that his 1 tooth is no longer visible and that the space between his eyes has cracked.
We noticed that there was mold growing on the inside and some of the seeds have sprouted! One of the sprouts is starting to grow out of his eye. We hypothesize that this is because the sprout is seeking out the light.
At least once a month we will update our Pumpkin Jack observation book with the changes that are taking place.
