Some more pumpkin math! This time from Ms. Casto's class. The students explored the parts of a pumpkin, got to feel inside, and count all the seeds. Ms. Kim’s pumpkin won with the most seeds by having 755 seeds total!

Pumpkin Math and Science Exploration in Miss Neff’s kindergarten classroom! Students measured and weighed their pumpkins, gave them the sink or float test, and cut them open to count the seeds. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere
