Mrs. Halstrom & Busti’s first graders emerged themselves in the role of scientists as they examined pumpkins. They discussed the life cycle of a pumpkin. Then students used their 5 senses to learn about the pumpkin. Students measured the pumpkin’s width and height, took out all the squishy seeds, counted them, and weighed the pumpkin too!

Westley participated in all activities, completed his work, waited his turn patiently, and was kind to everyone all week! He was a true leader in all classes and on the line.
