We had a great tractor ride to the pumpkin patch where students selected their pumpkin to bring back to the classroom.  In class we estimated and measured the pumpkin’s  height, circumference, and weight.  We made a watercolor drawing of a side and top view of the pumpkin.  Finally we decorated the pumpkins and had the entire school judge which were the scariest, funniest, most creative and most beautiful pumpkins.  At Thistledown Farms, students tallied the color of vegetables and fruits they saw in the store.  The hay maze was fun and the barnyard animals were very playful
