October 11th is an early release and we will be doing our second STEM activity. The book Five Little Pumpkins is a classic Halloween or pumpkin themed staple for the fall season. This Five Little Pumpkins STEM challenge is perfect to pair with it too! We are going to see if they can get 5 little pumpkins to sit on the gate or fence that they build as a group. 

If we could get pumpkins and simple building materials donated for the class STEM challenge that would be amazing. The students will be working in 4 groups so I will need 20 small pumpkins for the activity. If every child could bring in at least 1 pumpkin that would be helpful. See the picture below to get an idea of what we'll be doing. 

Supplies we will need are :      20 mini pumpkins

                                                 20 Paint stir sticks (Home Depot)

                                                 Clothes pins

                                                 Cardboard

                                                 Wood Craft Planks

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
