Wednesday


 * Wednesday **



First Step: Today we will look at an actual pumpkin, seeds, and a plant. Bring your workshop notebook to the science workshop and make observations about what you see. Remember that observations have to do with the five senses we learned about last week. Think about what it looks like, how it feels, and how its smells.

Second Step: Each person in your group should pick a stage of the life cycle of a pumpkin from our vocabulary word list. In [|Kid Pix Deluxe], you should create a picture that tells us about the stage. On the picture, you should include one sentence telling us what happens in this stage from what we have learned in class and from your observations.

Here is the vocabulary list from Monday:
 * Seed
 * Sprout
 * Plant
 * Vine
 * Flower
 * Green Pumpkin
 * Orange Pumpkin

Remember: Save your picture as your name and the vocabulary word you are describing. For example, "MikeSprout."

Tomorrow, we will watch a power-point presentation from each group that includes each group member's pictures of the life cycle. When it is time to present your groups presentation, you will stand at the front of the class and read the sentence you wrote and tell us about your picture.
