After Halloween, we read the book, Pumpkin Jack, by Will Hubbell. A little boy sets his left over Jack-O-Lantern out in the garden and watches it change as the weeks go by. By Spring, a new pumpkin plant begins to grow! We decided to start our own Pumpkin Jack in a jar in the library, and students have been checking on it each week to observe the changes. We are all interested (and maybe a bit disgusted) to see how rotten it’s getting! We really hope to see a little pumpkin sprout poke up before school lets out in May!
