Rotten Pumpkins
We examined a new pumpkin, and an older pumpkin and a really old pumpkin. K2 used their senses to discuss the differences.
Observations included,
1. The pumpkin looks orange, yellow, fat, bumpy, with a stem, has lines, pumpkin feels cold, hard, smooth and bumpy.
2. It smells like food. It's fresh.
3. The pumpkin feels cold, hard, smooth and bumpy.
4. It does not make any noise but if it you hit it there is a hitting sound.
5. We will not taste the raw pumpkin.
After our classroom pumpkin got rotten we examined it some more to learn what happens when something gets rotten.
Observations included,
1. It looks fuzzy. The colors changed, now it's brown, white, gray, black and dark orange.It got soft. It feels mushy, slimy, slippery and cold.
2. It smelly in a bad way. It smells like dirt. It doesn't smell like food anymore.
3. It feels mushy, slimy, slippery and cold.
4. It still doesn't make any sound.
5. We will make pumpkin bread but we can't eat the pumpkin now.

Sink or Float?
Water is wonderful and we like testing the idea "Does it sink or float?"
We talk about size, shape, what something is made of and what happened last time.
Do you think an apple will sink or float? We found out they float! Big apples float. Little apples float. Yellow, red and green apples float. Old apples float too!

Wild Animals Belong in the Wild
PETA Kids came to visit SJP2CA Mattapan today. Ellie the animatronic elephant was the star of the show. She shared her story about her life from freedom, to capture and the circus, and back to roaming happily in the elephant sanctuary.
