Pumpkin Pie in a Bag!

Second graders tried their hand at making pumpkin pie! This pie didn't require any baking. We just needed zip lock bags and the supplies.

In the first bag we worked as a team and crushed graham crackers that would be our crust.

In the second bag went milk and vanilla pudding that we squished together. Next step was adding the pumpkin and spices. When the spices were added, the room smelled yummy! Now came more squishing.

We poured the pies in our cups and had to wait until it was chilled.

Later that afternoon we enjoyed our pies.

We added whip cream and gobbled our creations!

YUMMY!

PUMPKIN PIE IN A BAG

Each month Kim Douglas, with Farm Bureau, will be coming to our second grade classrooms. She first started teaching us about ranch and farm life with our field trip to the ranch. After such a wonderful day at the ranch, she wanted to visit and tell about crops that Kansas grows. During the month of October her visit was reading the book, "Who Grew My Soup!" Each month she will focus on different crops that Kansas grows that could be in our soup.

The November visit also brought Carol Ann Flock to our classroom with the story about pumpkins.

The book told of the history of pumpkins through the years. Pumpkins have lots of good nutrients that are good for our bodies.

The story told of three foods that are nicknamed "Three Sister Foods." Those foods were grown and eaten by the Pilgrims. Pumpkins, beans, and corn are the Three Sister foods.
