Yeah! End of the 9 Weeks!

Some may not have had an email from me before so I wanted to send out a quick update.

Thanks to all of you that were able to donate pumpkins for our pumpkin experiments this past couple of days. We wrapped up the experiments yesterday but this information will keep coming back to 'haunt' the students over the next few weeks! The fun thing about numbers is that they stay FRESH, unlike the pumpkins that produced them!

We will be working on averages, some statistics, and, since your child has brought home seeds, you should be watching them GROW! In the meantime, next week we will work on some of the weak areas identified with the testing that went on last Thursday during the next week or so.

I encourage you to ask your child to tell you about what they discovered about Pumpkins during the last two days in the lab. Don't let them off easy with a "I don't know!", they should know how many seeds their pumpkin had, what the average number of seeds were for the class, how
much they weighed, and, the really COOL question, "Does how much a pumpkin weigh or how big it is tell you how many seeds it will have?"

Have a great weekend and I look forward to meeting with you during the Conferences today and tomorrow!

Pumpkins!

Here is a slide show of Tuesday's Pumpkin lab. Wednesday will be working with the numbers and observations.
