Baking Pumpkins

One of our Blog followers wants to know if we REALLY baked pumpkins. The answer to that question is a resounding "YES". Last Friday, after we measured, weighed and the counted seeds in six small pumpkins (one for each table group), we cut them open and put them into the oven at a far too high temperature! They were rescued as soon as Miss S. (our student teacher), who has a very keen sense of smell, realized that they were getting scorched. After they cooled, a few of the students had the "pleasant" task of scraping the remains into a bowl for future use. The future came today in the form of delicious pumpkin muffins. This was a long answer to your question Dave! Are you a believer now?

P.S. Thanks again to all of the moms who helped bake today and of course, to Mrs. Amato for all of  the work you did to keep us organized.
