Our school librarian is hosting this cute fundraiser with all benefits going to the SPCA.
PUMPKINS FOR PETS
Decorate a pumpkin to look like your favorite character from a book.
· You may draw, paint, or glue objects on your pumpkin.
· You MAY NOT carve or cut your pumpkin!!!!!
ANY PUMPKIN THAT IS OPEN WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!!!!
Bring your pumpkin to the library between Friday, Oct. 19 and Tuesday, Oct. 23. Pumpkins will not be accepted before Friday, Oct. 19 or after Tuesday, Oct. 23.
This year, a silent auction will be held for the pumpkins. All proceeds will benefit the SPCA. The auction opens at 8:00 on Wednesday, Oct. 24 and closes at noon on Friday, Oct. 26. All students and staff are invited to donate pumpkins!!!! How creative can we be?
See, I told you it was a cute idea. I also love how there is basically no set up required at all. Maybe you need some sheets for donations and a place to display the pumpkins but that's it! I was thinking even if you weren't a librarian and you wanted your kids (especially younger ones) to think about the main character or someone in a book they are reading, you could do this as an activity. OOOOhhhhh how I wish we could incorporate this into our science lessons somehow... but I just don't see it happening. (An I'm refusing to stick however many pumpkins together and call them a molecule... not my cup of tea.)
P.S. Pray for my kids tomorrow. They will be super stressed from their TEKS check thingy. Thanks, coach b!

o come on...you can find something science to do a pumpkin about...I have faith in you!
periodic table? some of the elements?
and take the results of that test for what they are...benchmarks...praise what they end up knowing and explain the other results will help all of you work together on what they need!
and take comfort that you are NOT alone in this overblown, out of porportion, in excess, exercise in futility...teachers and kids statewide are in it with you!
misery loves company?
