Orange!
At this time of year, I thought Orange would be easy... so here are my "oranges" taken yesterday.
Our school PTA had a pumpkin patch near the Kindergarten playground. Each student was able to pick his or her own pumpkin to take home.
My class went to the pumpkin patch with their 6th grade buddies.
Not to let a teachable moment go by without a Math/ Science integrated lesson, we compared and contrasted pumpkin sizes, shapes, used our 5 senses in the lesson too... Well, we have not tasted yet...perhaps next week. :)
Monday, we will be measuring the circumference, height and weight of our class pumpkin... When Halloween comes, we will be "pumpkined out" LOL...

I may have paid more attention (read: like) math in school if back them teachers related it to real world situations. Kudos, Eden! Great shots for this week too.
