This blogging thing is definitely not easy. I have no idea how to align the pictures. Time for some researching on how to do this.
On a side note, there is only 2 weeks left of practicum. I am going to miss my kids and getting to teach so much!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins Everywhere!






Our bulletin board.
shapes, inside and outside of pumpkin

So after apples, I started teaching about pumpkins.

This is the life cycle of the pumpkin. This took a surprisingly long time though.
My sponsor teacher did finger painting with the children, mixing different amounts of yellow and red to make different shades of orange.
Using up the pumpkin seeds.
As an conclusion to apples and pumpkins, we compared the two.

This weekend my sponsor teacher and some of my cohort friends attended a Pro-D workshop.



We were to build a community and a bridge.
 
Balloon rockets.


An "outfit" to protect a potato.



Testing the "outfit."


Wonderful view from where we had the workshop :).
On a side note.
There is only 3 weeks left of my practicum (I can't believe 10 weeks have gone by already)!!! My mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness are starting to appear.
