Pumpkin is November's Super Food
| |
By Mr. Ahlbach's Second Grade Class
How do you fix a broken jack-o-lantern? If you want to know the answer you will need to read to the bottom of this article.
Did you know that pumpkins help our brain, eyes, heart, and bones? They are filled with vitamins A and B and iron. Pumpkins are the perfect superfood because they are low in fat and have lots of fiber! I bet you didn't know that they have been around for over 5,000 years. Pumpkins are actually considered a fruit because they have seeds inside. Those yummy seeds can be cooked and eaten too!  This month, Ms. Grech's class made pumpkin donuts to share with the students attending Ormondale. 176 students and staff stated it was yummy. 19 people thought the recipe was ok, and only 1 person didn't like it. Mr. Keegan our principal said, "They are yummy!" Another person commented, "They are awesome, yummy, and healthy." Finally, Ms. Miller stated, "LOVE IT!" So remember, vegetables and fruits are important to keep our bodies healthy. We hope you will try this month's pumpkin recipe. Finally, the answer to our joke - How do you fix a broken jack-o-lantern? WITH A PUMPKIN PATCH
