This week, Ms. King challenged each class at our school to decorate a pumpkin as a "difference maker." Our class thought really hard about this task, our first ideas included a scary face and a vampire! We challenged the students to think about someone or something that helps people or does something that makes our world a better place.
After reading, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, the JK's and SK's decided a tree was a difference maker because a tree is so giving! A tree gives us leaves, shade, apples and branches to climb and swing on. The students also knew that trees give us paper and fresh air. Tree's are definitely big difference makers in our world!
Take a look below at how we decorated our pumpkin! Mrs. Taebpour had a great idea to roast the pumpkin seeds to create the tree. The students helped glue them on!
Mrs. Lynn and Mrs. Mugford's class won the pumpkin decorating contest by dressing their pumpkin up as Clifford! They are lucky to win the prize of picking out a book for our library!
