Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

We had a very busy day! Our day started with the Ghostbuster Race. J, from our class came in 3rd place for the boys!!! That race was followed by the Pumpkin Chase. It was a beautiful day to be outside.

This afternoon, we had pumpkin math & science. There was a lot of estimating, measuring, and fun going on in our room...

Hard to Believe...

It's hard to believe this weather. Look at our pictures from just 2 weeks ago...
