My illuminated letter!
I made this illuminated letter, but it’s in progress. Sorry it’s sideways. 
Style Composition
Here is my blendspace lesson. Here is my composition in noteflight so far.
I chose swing because I really like it, and I didn’t know much about it. I always thought it was cool, and I always wanted to know about it. When I was researching, I learned so much! I didn’t want to be doing that, but once I started learning, I didn’t want to stop. Three things I learned are: 1. Swing music normally has a strong rhythm section of bass and drums. 2. It usually has winds like the sax playing the melody. 3. It often has people improvising. I started over a lot when I was composing, but finally I got what I have now.
3rd Quarter
Before Winter Break, my goal was to be positive, and I think that I did all right. We did a lot of classwork in groups, so I had plenty of time to practice. I think the thing I need to work on is group work. I shouldn’t participate too much, or too little. I can’t not take part, and I can’t take over the group. Studying Islam helped because I was learning about a peaceful, and equal culture. I think I was also sort of learning to become a peaceful person, who tries to keep things equal. Leaning about the plague was less helpful than learning about Islam, but it was interesting. Even though it was disgusting, I still learned a lot about sickness back then, and also a little bit about disease now. It was all cool and educational. While it was not always my favorite thing to hear about, it was still interesting.
Percent/Decimal Math Demo
Problem 26
40=20 X ____
40/20= 200
40 kids are in the band. This is 20 % of the school. How many kids go to that school?
Problem 27

8.5 X 500= 4250
500 teachers from different school have assembled. 8.5% of them are from LREI. How many have come from LREI?
Problem 28
18=__% X 150
18.00/150
18.00/150= .12
150 people went to the party. 18 % of them are 20 or younger. How many are 20 or younger?
Our Glucose Recipe
In science we are working on systems thinking. In this quarter, we are doing a unit on plants. We spent a few classes making a recipe for glucose, and here it is.
6 Carbon Dioxide
6 Hydrogen
6 Oxygen
6 Oxygen waste.
Summer
This summer was pretty fun, although I did not see anyone who was not family, except at camp. Here is how my summer went. On the first day of summer, my dad’s parents came over, and after dinner, they took me and my brother to Stoddartsville, Pennsylvania. We stayed in a cabin called Wac-Zip. We like to swim in the Lehigh River while we are there. Coincidentally, their dog’s name is also Lehigh! We were there For two weeks. Although my mom and I had to leave a week early for camp.
I go to a camp called Urban Stages. It is a theatre camp. I was there for a month. We write our own show there. It is very fun. Right after that, I was dragged off to Maine for a week, to see my great aunt Kathleen. We went to a place called The Bagaduce Lunch. The food is really good. We also went on two very exhausting hikes in Brooksville, Maine. One was on a mountain, and it left us all sore for a week after.The other was much flatter, but also exhausting. The next day, we saw my cousin Bianca, and her sister, Katelyn. They are not really sisters, but their parents feel like siblings, so that’s the way it is.Then we left the day after, and I was really lazy because I had been dragged all over the place. That lasted for a while.
Then It was my birthday, and I got a new loft bed, desk, chair, and shelves. It was really exciting, and fun to put together. After that, My brother and I slept in until 11:30 every morning. Then on the first day of school, we could barely sit up when mom and dad woke us up at 6:00. So, that was my summer. Pictures are next to this. Thanks for reading!
