The Great Pumpkin Patch!

I thought this picture was so funny.

This is Patrick, one of Kian's good friends.

These are the 2 classes that make up second grade. Kian is on the bottom row.

Kian's teacher is @ the top, left side.

Go class of 2019!

In second grade it is tradition to do a "Pumpkin Fair." The purpose of this is to teach 'real' math skills. The children practice making change as they sell: pumpkins, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread (and an assortment of Halloween trinkets from oriental trading post.)

The day starts early as the children wait patiently for the pumpkin delivery. Then, one by one a massive line of orangeness march outside to gather and assemble a huge pile of pumpkins in the school's main hallway! They all worked so hard. It was great to be a part of this memorable day and act as one of the honorary photographers.
