And the WInners Are...

We had a very busy Monday...Nothing out of the ordinary but still busy which is always nice (it sure makes the time fly)! The first thing I did was check our pumpkin to see if any seeds had sprouted and I all I found was a SUPER mushy, yucky, disgusting, rotten pumpkin that was growing mold...NOT pumpkins! HA! I think our building got too cold over the weekend and blew our chance of sprouting! Oh-Well...it worked great last year. If you haven't seen this before, you can cut the top off a pumpkin, clean out the seeds and pulp, pour a bunch of soil in (almost to the top), and plant your pumpkin seeds right in the soil in the pumpkin! I was doubtful but last year it worked! This year I thought it was going to work even better because I have great natural light coming in...but not so much!

On to more exciting business...the winners of my newest unit Name Me Short or Long...Vowels are:

Jennifer over at First Grade Blue Skies
