Shabanu Stories
on At the Sibi Fair
There are so many people here selling a buying resources. It is chaotic but beautiful, so many people working to sell their goods and so many people bargaining for a better price. Dadi and I have to walk a little bit to where we will set up camp. I make a border of where our tent will be and then start putting it up. After the tent is up I take the resources off the camels. When everything is set up I start to cook some lentils and curried chicken for lunch. Men start to come over to our tent to bargain a price for our camels, Dadi is a very good businessman and will not sell the camels unless he knows it is a good price. Surely Dadi will not sell Guluband and Tipu they’re our greatest camels.
Dadi is meeting with somebody who wants to buy Tipu. I see him negotiating with the man trying to make a good price for the camel. I am furious with him, Tipu is one of our greatest camels and it will be a great loss if he sells them. I see Dadi shake hands with the man and then I realize… he has sold the camel.
Every ounce of water counts
I walk along the dry sand on the way to the Toba. I feel it in between my toes as if it were a part of me. Mithoo and Sher Dil walk next to me struggling to keep up. Each one of them trying to be next to me. I get to the Toba to fill up the buckets to bring back to the hut. I fill the first one up and then I put it aside. I fill the second one up and then pick up the first one and start walking back to the hut. I can feel the weight of the buckets on my shoulder, each one of them losing a little bit of water when I take a step. Every ounce of water counts because it hardly rains here. I try to make my steps lighter so the water won’t fall out. Once I get back to the hut I drop of the buckets and get more. We need all the water we can get because who knows when it will rain again. Mithoo and Sher Dil still follow me. Mitho is still young and does not no what is going on. None of the mother camels will take him as their young to feed him. Poor Mitho, doesn’t know his family.
Structure fits Function

Ever wonder why a red blood cell is shaped like a life saver well this is why. The unique shape of a blood cell is very important. A red blood cell has what is known as a biconcave shape. Both sides of the cells surface curve inward like the interior of a sphere.
The red blood cell is shaped like a life saver so it can fit through tiny blood vessels too deliver oxygen to the organs. Also it is so full of hemoglobin to carry oxygen that doesn’t have a nucleus. Sometimes they are misshaped and cause Sickle Cell Anemia. When you have Sickle cell anemia your blood stream gets clogged.

Cloisters
on We went on a field trip to the cloisters last Friday. It holds
medieval art. My favorite piece was the stained glass. It relates 
to what we’re learning because back in the medieval times the
churches would have stained glass.
Beowulf
on This year in humanities we studied the med evil era. We read a book called Beowulf. It is an old epic poem. It is about a hero. When we were reading the book we head to annotate. That means we had to underline important parts, circle and define vocabulary and write a chapter summary. Annotating is important because it helps you look back in things that you can’t find if you didn’t annotate. I am very proud of my chapter summary’s because they help me understand what happened in the chapter without reading the chapter. I want to improve on defining vocab because there was a lot of words in the book I didn’t know.
Mandarin
on This is one of the quizlet sets I study. We use quizlet to help us study for Mandarin for stuff like test and quizzes. This is an example of a video that we watched to help us with Mandarin.
Ashokan Trip
on 
Ashokan was okay. The only fun part was the ropes course. It was very interesting how I was suspended above the ground it was like I was flying. I also liked blacksmith because I learned how metal is bent. There was a lot of things this year that we didn’t get to do last year like, Blacksmith, and the ropes course. My favorite part of the hole trip was the meals. The food was so good. I was so sad at our last meal because the food was good and Grace couldn’t stop talking but I was so happy when we left because I really didn’t like the trip.
