Pumpkin Jack Part One
by Kiera Lombardi
This lesson includes fourth grade reading, writing, math, science, and engineering standards. The potential is endless with additional enrichment activities. Students participate in the nurturing and observation of a pumpkin from seed to harvest. While identifying text structure, main idea and details, and summarizing texts, students can apply their knowledge of in-class learning to real-world application of growing plants. While observing the plant, students can participate in measurement involving fractions and decimals. They will take pride in their plant, observe, gather data, and even touch on their empathy skills.
