Bring a Pumpkin...

So sad to say that the pumpkins we painted as atlas' are beginning to rot in our classroom. These were going to be used as centerpieces for our Thanksgiving dinner on November 25, 2015, which means we will have to go to plan "B." After some discussion the class decided to paint new pumpkins according to the country they've chosen for their Project Boards. So on Monday, November 2nd, each student is to bring a medium (or several small) pumpkins to class to begin our painting process all over again. This time we will wash the pumpkins in Clorox bleach and water then seal them with some ModPodge sealant BEFORE we start painting. Again students are allowed to use any tools in my classroom or they can supply their own. Hopefully we will preserve these pumpkins so that they will last a few more weeks until Thanksgiving!!
