Pod A: Picnic and Pumpkin Seeds!

October 27, 2011
Today was a busy day to end the week in Pod A.  Over the past two weeks the children have been discovering pumpkins on the inside and out.  We have weighed and measured pumpkins, along with cleaned out the inside of one.  Today some of the children took the seeds that we gathered throughout the week from the pumpkins and helped clean and cook the seeds for all of us to try.  They made cinnamon and sugar seeds and salty ones too.  After they came out of the oven, the teachers put them in individual bags and passed them out during our picnic lunch.

After we took the children for a walk around the EHS building, some of the children suggested that we have a picnic under the stairway.  We gathered our sack lunches and pumpkin seeds and made our way under the stairs to eat our picnic lunch inside.  After eating, Ms. Buckley, Ms. Mills, Ms. Szumila, and Ms. Payne acted out The Three Little Pigs for the children.  The children seemed to enjoy it and were laughing.  They even asked for us to do it again, so we acted it out twice.  Today was a fun but busy day.  Enjoy your weekends and we will see you all next week.
