Have you ever wondered about what makes up you nail? The structure of the nail is very simple.
If you look at your finger nail, you will see that part of the nail covers your nail bed and part of your nail that sticks out.
The part of the nail that sticks out (the white part of your nail) is called the free edge of the nail. The part of the nail that is covering your nail bed is called the body of the nail.
Some of the functions of the nail:
- The free edge of the nail makes smaller movements more precise. For example, if you were picking up a needle, the free edge of the nail would be useful.
- The body of the nail is helpful because it protects the sensitive finger tips. It also allows the fingertips to be more sensitive.
- The unula is actually under your nail, if something/someone hurts the lunula, your nail will be deformed.
In art, we made felt collages for guilds. I really like mine because I think that it shows what my guild is (Medicine Guild.) and who my character is (Midwife.). 
In art, we made really cool geometry patterns. We picked a graph and made a pattern on that. We colored it in, then cut out the pattern. Finally, we glued it all together again. I really liked this project because it had a lot of detail.
In art, we made medieval illuminated letters. I think that I did a really good job and I love the way that it turned out.
It was really hard to water color the background of the Z, because I had to go around all of the details. It took a long time, but it ended up looking really good.
This is my classical Chinese music piece. I chose this style because I think that classical Chinese music is really interesting. I am taking Mandarin, so I thought that it would be really cool to learn more about the culture. I discovered that using a F pentatonic scale makes it sound a lot better and it has to run really smoothly. Also, it can’t have notes that are long steps apart. It has been really hard to compose Chinese music, because we are trying to make it sound Chinese, but it hasn’t really sounded Chinese. Lately, it has been sounding more Chinese, but we are still trying to make it sound better.
In Mandarin, I have been doing pretty well. We have been doing lots of fun projects. I really liked learning Tai Chi, and I loved doing the alien project. This is a picture of the Chinese New Year Celebration. We performed at the PAC and we ate a lot of delicious food. We learned about the Chinese culture and we all had a really good time performing.
During Big Time, we are working on medieval guilds. Every person is in a guild, and they have a guild master. I am in the medicine guild, and my guild master is Julia. I am going to be a midwife, and I have learned lots of new things about medieval medicine. I am really excited for guild night. Last Big Time, we went to the New York Public Library. We did lots of research, and I think that most of my research came from there.
In music, I am writing a piece that is supposed to be Chinese classical music. I don’t really like how it is turning out, because it doesn’t sound very Chinese. I am going to continue working on it.

Revision is thinking about your work with fresh eyes. If you go away and then come back, you can think about it differently. Revision is like editing, but editing is the mechanics, revision is the actual writing.
I think that I did a good job with this writing piece. I didn’t revise it to much, because I liked the first draft. I added an element of magic. I hope you like this story!
In art, we drew 3 different portraits of ourselves with different materials. I like one of the drawings I did, but the other drawings I did didn’t really look like me. I used colored pencils, markers and oil pastels. I also used a picture of me and pencil.
