Recess Time!
Exploring a pumpkin! How does it smell, feel, taste, sound, look?
Daily Question: Do pumpkins float? (Answer: yes, pumpkins of all sizes float in water because pumpkins are made up of 80% water.)
We enjoyed opening up a sugar pumpkin (smaller and sweeter than a "normal" pumpkin). Students saw inside, smelled, touched, and tasted, if they wanted to, the fresh pumpkin.
We noticed the
differences and tasted the canned pumpkin we used in our recipe.We learned a new recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies that only uses three ingredients. Try it! This became our snack with milk. Yum!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 box spice cake mix
15 oz. (1/2 a large can) Pumpkin
1 C. chocolate chips
Mix above ingredients together and drop by spoonful onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-16 minutes.
We took turns adding the ingredients and stirring our cookies!
We practiced dropping the cookie dough onto a greased sheet by tablespoons.
Cooking.
Done!

We had a great time at the BYU Paleontology Museum.
Special Thanks to Mrs. Brewer and Mrs. Dahl for driving and accompany us on this fun day and to Hugh for fun snacks, ginger snaps and Dinosaur Fruit Snacks!
The children are all sitting on a replica of a Dinosaur thigh bone.
Petrified Wood from an ancient tree stump.
Olivia tells Seth about what she thinks happened to the downed dinosaur in the mural.
Some dinosaur skeletons are quite small!
Armor Plates protected some dinosaurs.
Aaron compares his leg to that of a dinosaur.
Carnivor=sharp teeth.

Fish fossils, too.
We went to the restroom, washed our hands, and
enjoyed a snack outside the museum.
