Clover Kids learn about pumpkins ...

Slimy, gooey, disgusting - all words used to describe the inside of a pumpkin when Clover Kids enjoyed a recent pumpkin science-themed meeting and found out just how gooey a pumpkin’s insides are. Some took on the challenge and attempted to count all those seeds inside of a pumpkin. Clover Kids then made thankful pumpkins and wrote three things they were thankful for. They also learned about the parts of a pumpkin and its life cycle.
