We worked all week on writing a spooky story, using good adjectives to make the story have great detail. Today, we read them next to "campfires".

Dry Ice Lab
Who doesn't love the fascinating factors of dry ice? We capitalized on this idea in class Thursday when we used dry ice to carbonate our homemade root beer. After making the drink and allowing it to carbonate the rest of the day, we investigated the concept of sublimation (going from solid directly to a gas) with several experiments in class, learning that dry ice is -109 degrees F.
Decorating Pumpkins
This was the first year ever that 5th graders took part in the tradition of decorating pumpkins. It is all due to this being their last year at Beck, as the tradition has always been for the exiting 6th graders. What amazing pumpkins they did. I heard many comments from students in other classes saying the 5th graders outperformed the 6th graders in their artistic skills and talent.

October's Archery Shoots
We had 2 extra-curricular events for October, both involving archery. The first took place last weekend at Wasting Arrows and involved a "Zombie Shoot". A fun and safe way to learn one of the oldest Olympic sports, that of archery.
