La Journal Numerique
Bonjour! Les choses ont été si agitées ces derniers temps! Entre l’école en ligne et être coincé dans la maison toute la journée je commence à devenir un peu fou remuer. En plus, je ne peux plus aller au racquetball et au tir à l’arc, gah je m’ennuie! Aussi ce n’est pas totalement lié, mais John Braun est mort récemment, et je me sens désolé pour lui parce qu’il a été éclipsé par le coronavirus. Aussi notre bonnes ne viennent maintenant, donc nous nettoyons chaque Dimanche. Au moins, on peut aller dehors, et marcher Paloma. Elle (Paloma) est extrêmement mignon! Encore un autre change est ne pas pouvoir aller dans des lieux publics, et aussi je ne suis pas allée à les maisons de mes amis. J’espère vraiment ça va bientôt se calmer. Avec la façon dont les choses se passent maintenant cependant, c’est beaucoup trop optimiste. Quoi qu’il en soit, tout ce que nous pouvons faire maintenant, c’est espérer pour l’avenir, je suppose. Je voudrais on pourrait vraiment faire quelque chose cependant.
Hello! Things have been so hectic lately! Between online school and being stuck in the house all day I’m starting to go a little stir crazy. On top of that I can’t go to archery and racquetball anymore, gah I’m bored! Also this isn’t totally related, but John Braun died recently, and I feel sorry for him because it was overshadowed by the coronavirus. Also our cleaning ladies aren’t coming anymore, so we’re cleaning the house every Sunday. At the very least, we can go outside, and walk Paloma. She’s (Paloma) so cute! Yet another change is that we can no longer go to public places, and I also can no longer go to friend’s houses. I really hope that this calms down soon. With the way things are going now though, that’s way too optimistic. Anyway, all we can do is hope for the future I guess. I wish we could actually do something though.
Math Exam Review
This is a series of reflection questions from before and after my math exam. This was our first exam, and it was a couple weeks ago. It was worth 20% of our math grade. To help us study we got a mock exam and a review packet. We had 90 minutes on the exam.
Before:
- How are you feeling about your first exam? A: I was feeling fine, but the exam prep is so cheesy and annoying it’s made me more stressed. I’m still feeling good, but I was feeling better before.
2. How did you feel about the Mock Exam? A: I’m disappointed I got some questions wrong, but for the most part I just misread questions so I’m not too worried.
3. How have you been studying? A: I’ve mostly been getting people to ask me questions, so far it’s been working well.
4. What has been working? What has not? A: As far as I can tell, everything I’ve been doing has been working.
After:
- How did you study? A: After I completed the mock exam I got the counselors at homework club at the JCC to ask me questions.
- How did writing the exam feel? A: When I was writing the exam it felt ordinary. It wasn’t that special.
- Did you feel prepared for the exam? A: Yes! There really isn’t that much else to say about this.
This is an Explain Everything I made on variables. I made this so other people can learn about variables.

Genius Hour!
Hi! For my genius hour this year I’m drawing a comic strip, this doc discusses my research.
A while ago I looked at a site for drawing tips,(thevirtualinstructor.com) it said to observe drawing styles, so that’s what I’ve been doing. I have been doing this by looking at comic strips online. Really there’s not too much I can say about this but I think I’ve improved a little. Another thing I’d mention is that I liked the simple style of strips like Cyanide and Happiness the best. My science connection is the science of inking. The reason cartoonists use so many different pens for inking is mainly because of depth and volume(artistsnetwork.com). This is important because that makes the comic look more three dimensional. You also might be wondering what the difference between the two is. According to WikiDiff.com the difference is that depth is how far something goes in, whereas volume is the space between the sides as well as the top and the bottom. There’s also the question of why there are so many different tools for inking. MakingComics.com says that the main tools are brushes, quills, pens, and multiliners. I couldn’t however seem to find how they ink differently, but I would guess it changes the depth/volume of the art. As well I think I’ll mostly do one panel strips like The Far Side. I didn’t really have any failures but learning to draw better was actually really hard.(The Far Side)

Winter Break 2019-2020
This winter break I enjoyed many things, but best of all was the winter carnival! This exciting event took place behind the pool. The weather had been unsatisfactory for most of the time there, but that day it was excellent. The sun was shining, it was warm, and the sky was blue. When I got there they had already set up. There was loud music, although I don’t remember what songs. The funnel cake smelled tantalizingly heavenly and tasted so too! There were two rides, a swinging chairs carousel, and a Tilt-A-Whirl They both felt exhilarating to ride! We (that is, me and the other people who were riding the Tilt-A-Whirl) got the operator to make it swing even higher and faster! The thrill of riding it was astonishing! At one point I did an obstacle course shaped like a pirate ship, there isn’t much to say about this, except for that it was hard to climb up, and that it was massive. There was also a water gun game where the winner got a plushie. I won on my first try and got a stuffed snake for my cousins. Later I tried to win again, but I question the capability of the machine, seeing as it misidentified the winner constantly. Plus the man running the game didn’t bother to check. Not only that, but he took an excruciatingly long amount of time to start the game each round. In other words, it was incredibly annoying. There was also a game bus, I played Mario Kart in it, but they were so busy I had to get off after just one race. I also saw Emet Mornstein (he’s a friend of mine, I also may have spelled his name wrong). Then I went to the satellite pool with him for what I think was three hours,(I can’t remember) and that was Winter Carnival at Gleneagles, it was delightful, to say the least!
Terrific Tales: If I Were A Invisible Man
Hello welcome to grade six! This is a story I wrote recently, please enjoy!
Whew! What a day I had! I was invisible for 24 hours! You’ll never believe it! Come to think of it, I can’t remember what I did, the thought just “disappeared” from my mind! Since I can’t remember everything we’ll do this “Titanic” style, in flashbacks!
If I remember, the first thing I did was sneak into the taping of a game show. I can remember what it was called but, saying it might put me in “Jeopardy!” I went onto the stage and started saying answers into the contestants ears, or should I say the questions? After a bit of that I went back into the seats but the host left and got a replacement. This made people angry and they wanted a refund of some weird currency, I think they said they wanted their “Tre back”. Anyway, things were getting pretty heated so I left.
After that I think I… no wait I remember… oh yeah! I went to the red carpet premiere of that new superhero movie! I think it was in the franchise’s “Endgame” I think it could have been better though, unfortunately the critics disagreed. Before I left, I bought some merchandise. You may be wondering how I did that, the answer is that I took some merch when the guy left for a bit and put money in the register, I even did tax! There was a bit of a riot to get tickets which is why I didn’t stick around.
After all that I put a mask on and went out to dinner, if anyone asked I said I was leaving from a costume party. The restaurant was quite pretty you could say it was nice “sushi”. I got some noodles and fish with bubble tea, it tasted very good with unlimited dessert the only problem is that the grill caught fire and everyone ran outside. Then I went back home and watched a cop show, something about a New York neighborhood and the number before 100. At 8:30 I went to bed.
That’s what I did the day I was invisible I hope you enjoyed this story, but don’t tell anyone about it. Goodbye and good night/afternoon/morning/other time!

My Rosh HaShana resolution!
At the beginning of this year my teacher made us write resolutions for the Jewish new year Rosh HaShana. My resolution was to eat less fat as I was on a doctor-prescribed low-fat diet at the time. I have since gone off the diet so the resolution no longer matters to me unfortunately I made no progress on it during the school year. On a side note it may not have been my resolution to start this blog, in fact it was a school assignment, but I did manage to do this!
My Birthday!
Hi! I am writing to say that my birthday is in six days. It happens to land on the last day of school this year! My party is this weekend with my sister Audrey. (Audrey if you read this please comment) One thing I really like about my birthday is that it happens at about the same time as the end of school so I age with the passing of the school year!
