Autumn was an exciting time for the students in Mrs. Scorzelli's kindergarten class. In preparation for a field trip to the farm, students learned the different parts of a pumpkin plant.  They participated in labeling a pumpkin plant diagram on chart paper.  After returning from an action packed field trip, students used their artistic talents as they painted their hand-picked pumpkins. Under the supervision of media specialist Nicole Taormina, kindergarten students along with  their 4th grade buddies worked as graphic designers to create autumnal scenes with Kid Pix. As a culminating activity, the children sampled apples and made predictions on which variety of apples were their most favorite. Students sampled the apples and graphed their taste preferences with Create a Graph.
