This week in my class we are discussing fall and pumpkins. I bought a pumpkin for my class for us to have some fun with and to experiment with. The class voted on the name Jack for our pumpkin, which of course is short for Jack O Lantern! HEHE!! Today, we colored on Jack and carved him up so that we could see what was inside of him.
This is what is inside of good ol' Jack! The kids thought it looked like spiders had made spiderwebs out of his insides!! They thought this was so cool!!!
We scooped out Jack's seeds and "spiderwebs". Tonight I am going to bake the seeds for the kids so that they can try them. I am going to flavor some with salt and some with sugar. The kids think it's really neat that you can eat the seeds from the pumpkin. Also, we cut Jack up so that we can make pumpkin cupcakes tomorrow in class. Tonight I am going to boil the pumpkin and prepare Jack to become a sweet treat for my class! HEHE!! Tomorrow I will post the process of us making the pumpkin cupcakes and the recipe. I will also post what they thought of the seeds. Should be interesting!!!
