Academy Street Students Have Fun With Pumpkins
Students worked collaboratively on a pumpkin-themed activity.
From BBP Schools: In celebration of the fall season, students from Carrie Almskog’s fourth-grade class at Bayport-Blue Point School District’s Academy Street Elementary School recently utilized their skills spanning multiple academic subjects as they worked collaboratively on a pumpkin-themed activity.
With assistance from parent volunteers, the students rotated through five pumpkin-themed stations and worked together to measure their pumpkins’ physical properties, create an artistic interpretation and guess if the gourd was buoyant in water.
At the final station, the students drew inspiration from the novel “James and the Giant Peach” to write a creative essay explaining what it would be like to explore the inside of a pumpkin.
