This month we have been continuing on with our unit on Vermont Farms. As part of this unit the students have been rotating through workshops. The workshops have focused on farm to table, farms long ago and today, what we farm in Vermont and how those farms help us, and life cycles. Since time was limited we ended up choosing one thing that grows on a farm to focus on when discussing life cycle. Since it is October we chose the pumpkin. Students were learn more about animal life cycles later in the year. In class we went through the life cycle together, and then the students created their own version of the pumpkin life cycle. Many students didn't realize that pumpkins started out green until they reached their adult stage. Check out this video that takes you through the different stages of a pumpkins life cycle!
