Mrs. Pecina's kindergarten class has been learning about pumpkins! They started off with a book, a pumpkin craft, and a visit to the pumpkin patch last week. They are continuing on their pumpkin journey this week. The class had a sink and float experiment, where they predicted what the class pumpkin would do...AND IT FLOATED!!! Then, they discussed the parts of a pumpkin as they carved an opening to take out the pulp and seeds. Tomorrow they will count the seeds and make a craft to label the parts of a pumpkin. Keep it up Yellowjackets!
The Yellowjacket Cross Country team is on their way to Corpus Christi! Our athletes will compete tomorrow at Regionals! We wish them the best of luck and safe travels!
