beckopoly

On the 24th of Janurary me and my BFF Stella made $97. We were selling Lava Worms. Here is my video for beckopoly.

Lava Worms are plain gummy worms dropped in a solution to make them dance. This is my 2nd time doing Beckopoly and I have earned alot of money for the PTA. The gummy worms dance when you mix Acetic Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate together. You have 1 cup of warm water mixed with Sodium Bicarbonate and soak the gummy worms for 2 hours. Then you put the worms into white vinegar which is Acetic Acid , and watch your gummy worms dance. Do you know what is Sodium Bicarbonate? That is baking soda.

 

 

Last  Year I drew handmade henna designs and made $30. I ended up putting the my left over money with the amount I made this year. Beckopoly is actually Monopoly but in my school, Samuel Beck Elementary. 

Every year I go around to see the stores that everybody had. All of the stores are fantastic and have awesome ideas!šŸ˜ Kids come up with great ideas and always are so creative!šŸ˜„Beckopoly is always so fun with the interesting ideas,games,products,bracelets, food and even experiments that kids come up with and show every one else their idea. 

The reason why we are doing Beckopoly is to raise money for our PTA. There are also competitions that kids can go to if their stall is a huge success. I never won last year or this year but I think we did the best. I loved my product Lava worms so much. My favorite part was seeing the gummy worms dance. I think that is the coolest thing ever and is so awesome. I hope to do Beckopoly next year with  my friends and hope to win Beckopoly!

Snow in Texas

Yesterday it snowed in Texas and everyone went crazy! I lived in Ohio for 7  years. There was snow every year and every December in Ohio. I asked Loseli,my friend, “why are you all crazy?” She said “we haven’t had snow for so long!”So when I got home I played in the snow remebering all those snowy days in Ohio. Texas only had powder snow and Ohio had thick snow. Texas was much better for me because I don’t like snow. I think that everybody is used to extreme hot summers without any snow but, yesterday was dream come true. I thought that  a little snow would be much better than a lot of snow. Me and my friend Stella don’t like snow as much as everybody else does. 

Beckopoly

Beckopoly is a place in Beck/my school where you play Monopoly but in real life. I have done this last year by myself, and now I am doing with my friend Stella. We are planning to make dancing gummy worms. You mix warm water and baking soda together to make the first soloution. Then you soak the gummyworms in it for 15minutes or more. After that you pour white viniger in a jar and slowly put the gummyworms in the viniger. Lastly you watch your gummyworms dance happily. We are planning to do a try it out station and let other kids try to make thier own. When they are done we are going to give them a package with the materials for, the dancing gummyworms. We are going to ask the kids if they liked our idea to see if we had a great idea or not. I think that this will be a pretty cool idea and a lot of kids will want to try making a dancing gummyworm. Me and Stella have been friends for 1 year and we planned,this from the start of third grade. We are really good friends and almost always work together no matter what. I can’t wait to find out how the gummyworms dance because I have never seen  one  in front of me. I wonder how they dance and why use viniger as the second soloution?I really want to find out because finding out would be cool to know. If there is no reason then I hope someone finds out!

Holiday parties

We celebrated New Year with a family party. First we played the game pool. Then we played Jenga twice, watched a movie and last but not least we watched the ball drop. I fell asleep before the ball dropped. On Christmas I got a 12pack,5pack,and 2pack of shopkins from season 6. Also known as season six chef club. Additional to that I got a American Girl Dollhouse for my dolls to live in, scince I  really needed one for my dolls. I got my parents a hand drawn family portrait by me and, a painted picture frame also painted by me. I loved both presents so much that I ended up playing with both for the entire day. I now have  about 200 or 300 something shopkins. I love shopkins so much that when I go shopping with my mom to Walmart in the toy section, I stare right at the shopkins just wanting to buy them all! Even if our New Year party was short it was alot of fun. Things are more funner when you have friends and family with you! They always bring the sparkle into anything at anytime! Even if I would have enjoyed going to a New Year party outside this was a awesome party and I hope we do one like this next year! I wonder  why people celebrate new years with a New Year party. I also wonder how the new year even started. Is there a scientific explenation for than or not? I hope to find out!
