This engaging activity has been updated to utilize the infinite cloning tool and assessment tool. You'll find this activity to be a perfect fit while you are studying life cycles, or during October/Fall, or even as an extension of your coding curriculum. Students will work to create a code to move through the stages of a pumpkins life cycle. Once the complete the code, they will use the microphone to share their thinking and as a bonus can also labels each stage. On Page 2 of the activity, students can test their knowledge of the pumpkin life cycle by completing 3 self-checking questions. Scaffolding is provided through voice prompts for your emergent readers
