Halloween

In the 19th century, Iris and Scottish immigrants carried Halloween to North America. Samhain is a Celtic festival. Samhain was a time when ancient pagans would take stock of supplies and prepare for winter. Masks and costumes were in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or to appease them. In Ohio, Iowa, and Massachusetts the night designated for trick-or-treating is referred to as "Beggars Night". The practice of dressing up in costumes and begging to door-to-door for treats dates back to the middle ages. Samhain was considered a magical holiday, and there are many stories about what the Celtics practiced and believed during the festival. Some say the spirits that were unleashed were those that had died in that year over the next hundred years. Christianity had spread to include the lands inhabited by the Celtics and the Romans. Halloween was not a popular observance in early US history, most of the settlers were Protestant. At the time, Halloween was considered mostly a Catholic, Episcopalian, and Pagan holiday and therefor largely ignored. Eastern European's celebration of all saints day are usually spent by praying most of the day.

Did you know Black widows are cannibals? Next, I made paper bag puppet. I made a cat with my mom and my sister made a pumpkin. After that we made paper towel ghosts and put them in our window. And last, I did a cool project with a jar, vinegar, baking soda, and latex gloves. Vinegar and baking powder make a cool gas.

Although one of Jupiter's moons might have life in it's hidden ocean. Many scientists still study Mars for signs of life. But so far they have found nothing. But in the past a scientist made a discovery that there may be ancient life on Mars. Mercury could never hold life either. Its just bolted rock formed by the sun.
