 Pumpkin-centered learning activities build science, literacy skills, positive climates at schools
Across PWCS this October, students have been engaged with fall-inspired lessons. The life-cycle of a pumpkin, from seed to gourd, had our youngest students excited about science. At all levels, students flexed their creative muscles, designing and creating their own unique pumpkins, many inspired by books and stories.
