Fun with Pumpkins!

Yesterday in Kindergarten, we got our hands into some pumpkins. It was really slimy and squishy! With the help of some grade five buddies, we scooped out the insides and separated the seeds. Next, the kindergartens suggested ideas for the pumpkin's face and the grade five students carved the wonderful jack-o-lantern faces. I think they turned out so well!

 After school, I brought home the pumpkin seeds, washed them, then put olive oil, salt and garlic powder on them and roasted them in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes (until they were dry and slightly toasted). We are going to eat them today!

 Did you know that pumpkin seeds are FULL of valuable nutrients? They are very high in fibre and magnesium and they're tasty, too!
