Guessing Pumpkin Size by Pounds Blues News visited the elementary to see what they were up to for there special

pumpkin day. “The McLemore pumpkin patch is one of our favorite field trips. The small, family owns a farm in Colony, Oklahoma and offers many fun and educational resources

for the students. Upon our return to school, the students performed several experiments with the pumpkins we purchased, and it was a wonderful learning

experience for all.” said Mrs. Willard. Mrs. Ball said “We guessed whether our pumpkin would sink or float, guessed how much it would weigh, and how many seeds it would have. It floated, weighed 77 lbs, and had

570 seeds inside.”
