Measuring pumpkins can be so much fun! Height, Circumference, and weight. Mrs. Freeman's 4th grade class explored measurement and pumpkins!
Does a pumpkin sink or float? 4th graders from Mrs. Freeman's class found out by doing the scientific method.
These are our October Leaders of the Month!
Today, the Literacy Committee at Rockford Elementary performed a skit for the student body, using the book, “Too Many Pumpkins.” A heart-warming classic for more than 20 years, this story shows what happens when one thrifty gardener figures out how to make other people happy with pumpkins! Students watched on as Rebecca Estelle enacted the words in the book read by the Scarecrow. We hope that everyone has a safe and happy night of Trick-or-Treating! Happy Halloween.
Thank You BCJ Trucking for the generous donation of goldfish crackers to feed our gators !!
