Team Imagination Uses Pumpkins For Learning
Each year students in Imagination remove and count seeds from Hudak Farm (local) pumpkins. They also chop up those pumpkins and process them into delicious muffins. Along the way they get early lessons in addition, fractions and botany. Hands-on and meaningful learning is the goal. These are a sample of a few of the pictures taken of the experience in the last few school days.
