Pumpkin Pie Measurement

Last week we were visited by Mrs. Miller from Farm Bureau. She came in and taught us about the pumpkin life cycle and also helped us make our own tasty pumpkin pies! This lesson went right along with our measurement lesson in math.

Yumm! Pumpkin pies are delicious! Thanks Mrs. Miller for the wonderful and tasty measurement lesson!
