Pumpkins help educate PECS immersion students Community Education News by The Seminole Tribune - November 2, 2021November 2, 2021 BRIGHTON — Pemayetv Emahakv Charter School immersion students engaged in various pumpkin investigation activities Oct. 26, all of them done in Este Cate (Creek) language. The different activities were read aloud with Jennie Shore. Activities included pumpkin measuring with correspondingmath and pumpkin carving and painting. Students did a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activity in which they built a structure made of pumpkin candy and toothpicks to see if it was capable of supporting the weight of different sized pumpkins. Through this STEM challenge students utilized physics, engineering and math skills to design and build the structure. The last activity was cooking pumpkins over the open fire of the chickee. Students made pumpkin fry bread. “What better way to end this wonderful learning experience than to enjoy a piece of delicious pumpkin bread after all the hard work,” wrote Jade Osceola on the PECS Facebook page.
