Yesterday we carved a pumpkin and called him Pete. We recalled the story of Stingy Jack. We learned that the tradition of carving pumpkins began in Ireland. People used to carve turnips to scare ghosts away. Only when Irish people moved to America pumpkins began to be carved.
Here are some pictures of Pumpkin Pete enjoying his time in our classroom.
 Pete loves reading in the library. He also loves reading poetry  |  Pumpkin Pete brought a healthy lunch today. He had an apple, a salad, and a hard boiled egg. Well done Pete! |
