Mrs. Carr’s class read the story, Pumpkin to Carve, then answered comprehension questions. They talked about the sequential order of the steps to carve a pumpkin and got to put those steps into action.  After the jack-o-lantern was completed, they cooked some of  the pumpkin seeds in the oven and ate them. They plan to plant the rest of the seeds.
