Pumpkin Unit

Our class loved learning about how a pumpkin grows!  The students especially enjoyed cleaning out the inside of a pumpkin and cooking the pumpkin seeds.  We cooked some of the seeds with salt and some of the seeds with cinnamon and sugar.  Thank you Mrs. Alexander (Hunter's Mom) for coming in and helping the students cook the seeds!  I read the students a book called The Pumpkin Patch Parable.  It was a story about a farmer who turns a simple pumpkin into a glorious sight.  They learned that Jesus can clean our hearts and transform our lives.  God's love can then fill each of our hearts with joy and light.
