Pumpkin Day

Two days before my friend, Heather, left for China, she decided to whip up a little pumpkin unit study for a group of eight kids. Don't ask me how she does it because I don't know. But I do have several theories: God has given her more than the 24 hour day He's given me...or, She doesn't sleep...or the most likely is that she's cloned herself.

Anyway, here's a glimpse of the multitude of activities all conjured up by one of Heather's clones...

Heather prayed with the kids thanking God for the gift of pumpkins and our beautiful autumn, We also prayed for little Claire, who was having surgery that morning (and BTW, she's going in for another procedure tomorrow, so please be praying for her...I'll be going to the hospital with Angela early tomorrow morning).

The big kids made a little pumpkin book and the little ones did some shape and color activities.

"Gutting" the pumpkin to count the seeds.



Counting by tens. Elizabeth guessed closest....the pumpkin had something like 536 seeds!
