Happy Halloween

The Barracudas dressed in their finest and are ready to hit the streets in search of Halloween goodies!

Down on the Farm

The Barracudas got a beautiful day for their visit to Spooner Farms and the corn maze. And being the ingenious group that they are they whipped through the maze in record time, despite occasional dead ends and surprise attacks by other groups. It was a fun way to spend a morning and they each got a free pumpkin to take home and carve!

Christmas is here early

The Barracudas have turned into Santa's elves as they prepare items for the Meeker Craft Fair. All this hard work is just one of the many fundraisers they will be doing for their DC trip.

Goooooooaaaaaalllllllllll!!!!!!!!!

Soccer has become the game of choose for the Barracudas at recess. So many of them are playing on teams that the games get really competitive and except for the occasional kicked shin, a whole lot of fun to play and watch.

Middle School Visit

The Barracudas spent half the day visiting the middle school campus. First they sat in on the end of tech class and then joined the MS students for lunch at the Broadway Farmer's Market. Afterwards they helped with jobs then took a walk to the B-2 Gallery to see a student show from all around the world. And guess who had two pieces in the show? Our very own Maleah B.!

Natural Selection

The Barracudas spent hours absorbed in conducting an experiment about natural selection with the mythical Carmel Origami Birds. They tested successive generations of their paper birds as each generation of offspring mutated from the original ancestral bird in wing size. They used math to measure flight distance and wing size, find averages and graph the results of their experiment. Surprisingly one mutation, a very small front wing, resulted in the most successful bird in length of flight.

Big Brothers and Sisters

The Barracudas had a visit from the Navigators and acted as mentors. Together they talked about what makes a good friend and expressed it in a friendship flower. It's pretty cool to be the oldest kids in the school and have the younger ones look up to you.
