Students in Mrs. Williamson's third-grade class at J.E. Turner Elementary have been learning about life cycles. What better way to explore that subject this month than with pumpkins? Students learned all about the pumpkin life cycle, researched fun pumpkin facts, explored the inside of a pumpkin, and tasted pumpkin pie! Then they visited the school’s pumpkin patch and each got to take home their very own pumpkin. #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress
