As part of our math unit the third grade classes spend an
afternoon working with watermelon seeds.
During this time, the students eat some watermelon, save their seeds and
then practice estimating and measuring how far their seeds are spit! J
The kids have a great time, and enjoy the treat. We plan on doing this activity on Friday, September 21st as part of our
stations. The kids will work in
small groups either outside spitting seeds or inside doing class work. Each station will last approximately 20
minutes.
In order to do this activity, we need some help! Parents should arrive by 12:15 to help
cut the watermelon. At 12:30, the
kids will begin eating their watermelon and by 12:45 the spitting will
begin! (Only at the target, not at
the students!) We should be
finished by the 2:30 recess.
If you could come and assist us in our day, please complete
the following form and return it to your teacher. If you have any questions, please contact us either through
our e-mails or call the school – 656.2243.
