Pumpkin Carving




 During our LYN House's tutoring sessions we try to every once in a while have a day that the kids don't have to do anything academic and just relax and have a good time with their tutor and the other participants. We encourage activities such as this to create a bond between the kids and their tutors. On Halloween the tutoring program engaged in a fun activity day. On this day all the kids paired up with another student and their tutor to carve pumpkins. They had to use team work to empty the goo and seeds out of the pumpkins, design the type of face the pumpkin would have, and carve out  the face. After the pumpkins were finished they were put to good use for a booth at the 10th Street Halloween fest where trick or treaters got to see them.
