Spring Creek Elementary School

Mrs. Martinez’s class had an awesome STEAM activity and learned about pumpkins! “First we made guesses about how many seeds would be inside our pumpkin and put our guess on the front board. Then, we gutted a pumpkin! We played in the pulp and seeds a little, we counted all the seeds by grouping them in groups of 10. Our pumpkin had 414 seeds inside!! The students then wrote about what we did and illustrated it. Last, we read our Scholastic News about what happens to Jack-O-Lanterns after they are cut. Our student Evelyn guessed nearest to 414 so she was the one to draw the face on our pumpkin for Mrs. Martinez to carve. We did science, math, writing and art during our activity! The kids loved it!”

La clase de la Sra. Martínez tuvo una actividad STEAM impresionante y aprendió sobre las calabazas. “Primero hicimos conjeturas sobre cuántas semillas habría dentro de nuestra calabaza y pusimos nuestra conjetura en la pizarra. Luego, ¡destripamos una calabaza! Jugamos un poco con la pulpa y las semillas, contamos todas las semillas agrupándolas de 10 en 10. ¡¡Nuestra calabaza tenía 414 semillas dentro!! A continuación, los alumnos escribieron sobre lo que hicimos y lo ilustraron. Por último, leímos las noticias de Scholastic sobre lo que ocurre con las calabazas después de cortarlas. Nuestra alumna Evelyn adivinó lo más cercano a 414, así que fue ella quien dibujó la cara de nuestra calabaza para que la Sra. Martínez la tallara. Hicimos ciencia, matemáticas, escritura y arte durante nuestra actividad. A los niños les encantó”.
