About a week ago, Scott Floyd sent me an invitation to register for Jennifer Wagner's online Pumpkin Seed Project 2008, and I was eager to jump at the opportunity to sign my class up for this experience. We registered on October 6th to participate and will soon be posting our classroom results to the Pumpkin Seed Project website along with many other schools. In the meantime, we have been using several of Ms. Wagner's suggested activities involving pumpkins for this fall season. One the students' favorite activites was to virtually carve a jack-o-lantern from an online pumpkin. I was surprised to discover that more than a couple of my students did not even know what a jack-o-lantern was, but I can assure you that they cannot say that now. Here is a Flip Video of four students carving their own Halloween Jack-o-Lanterns. Enjoy!
