Pumpkin Drop

It is a fun night to write a post. A game seven. Nothing beats the excitement of a game seven. The only problem with this game seven is we will have a long time until baseball comes back. Still though the excitement of tonight is worth having to wait a long time.

Today both our classes got to protect our pumpkins for the Pumpkin Drop. If you are not familiar with the Pumpkin Drop, it is a lot of fun. Each homeroom in the school will protect a pumpkin. On Friday we will take that pumpkin out to the area just behind Donovan. There our amazing gym teacher will use a cherry picker to carry our contraptions high into the sky. From there the pumpkins are dropped (hence the name Pumpkin Drop). We keep track of whose pumpkin survives and whose pumpkin gets turned to pie. Winners are drawn. All and all it is an amazing day. If you want join for the excitement. We will start the dropping this Friday around 9:15. You can find our class (after checking into the office) and join the fun. I promise to post some pictures because the classes did an amazing job of protecting our pumpkin.

Today we also read aloud, worked on our drought articles, looked at some Smack Down claims, looked at an amazing timeline, and sorted some facts about the prehistoric tribes. Even with all that I know what the kids were most excited about so I had to fill you in on our pumpkin. Tomorrow I can explain our Smack Down Claims.

Hope you are having a great week.
