In art I made a painting to represent Hatshepsut’s life. I chose to make a painting of trade boats going to punt, because Hatshepsut was represented by trade. I really liked making the water because I like the style and how it’s zigzaggy. I don’t like that the flag is black and yellow, I tried to make it striped. I like how all the people have oars and are standing and look like they actually are trying to row a ship.
I think that decimals and percentages are one of my strengths because they are already very straight forward, and I like them because lots of decimals and percentages can be split to create infinite possibilities. I chose this example because it show my best work in decimals and percentages. From the link below,I practiced 8th grade problems to see if I understood the concepts well enough. I got almost all the questions correct and understood everything.

The Chinese new year festival was fun because we got to perform and watch older kids perform. One of my favorite parts of it was Dragon boat racing, it was fun because we got to paddle on these boats called dragon boats (not really, we just had a paddle on an exercise machine) which in real life has 30 people on them.
The picture from above is of me performing. I had to say an idiom in Chinese then explain the meaning in english. My favorite part about this activity was making calligraphy because we got to learn about how you change the thickness of the stroke while painting to make it look authentic. I also loved watching the other grades perform because it felt like we were at an actual festival which was really fun.
My topic was : Religion
My experience giving my docent talk at The Brooklyn Museum was pretty good. I felt like everybody was listening and asking good questions because everyone was listening and asking when good questions . One thing I learned about note-taking is that you have to take notes by reading a paragraph. When it comes to taking notes, I used to write exactly what I want when I want, but now I take notes by reading the paragraph. One thing that is still challenging for me about note taking is not talking fast.
Me and my mom decided to pretend to be Apple and the FBI I was Apple and my mom was the FBI
My mom said she needed the phone because the next nine eleven could be on there and I told her that if I let her into that one phone she would be able to see EVERYBODY’S phone. She said that they could not do that because the judge wouldn’t allow it. Then I won her over by saying that a robber or criminal or hacker or other country could steal the tool to get on everybody’s phone.

My partner and I read Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry. Our partnership was very good because we both loved the book and we almost never failed on work. I’m proud that I could do all my work almost perfectly and on time and get amazing grades One challenge for me was to get into the book because it’s hard for me to get into the books i’m reading.
I interviewed my mom tonight about Gun Violence. She told me two stories that had two different endings. In once story – things changed, in the other, they didn’t. One was 1996, in Dunblane Scotland where a man with a mental disability named Thomas Hamilton killed 16 kids one teacher and himself. After this tragedy the UK made it illegal to get guns. The other one was 2012, in Sandy Hook CT where a man with a mental disability named Adam Lanza killed 28 people and himself. To this day access to handguns is legal in the US. We also talked about why and it’s because they are angry and if you have access to a gun and you are angry you might shoot somebody.
This is my zoetrope and it shows a guy falling up stairs into a portal thats that teleports him to the bottom. This helped me learn how to make mistakes into something beautiful. I think this is my best work because it took a lot of time and effort to make into something I am vey proud of.
This is me Lars, Tess and Farin doing a trust walk on the team building exercise at Ashokan. I’m the one with the black blindfold. I chose this picture because I had a lot of fun when it happened.
This is a lithium atom model that I made on Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a website that you can make 3d models on. As you can see the green spheres are neutrons, the orange spheres are protons and the clear things around the nucleus (the nucleus is where the protons and neutrons are) are electrons. The protons carry positive energy, the electrons carry negative energy, and the neutrons carry neutral energy.
