Bat Mitzvah Month
I’m still writing thank you cards but breaking to start a page.
On October 9, 2016 we had a service for Grandma at Calvary Hospital. She fell, went to hospital and was told she had stage 4 cancer. She died a month after this picture was taken. It was nice I could have a special bat mitzvah service for her. Some of her friends were there to support her including Barbara (her besty), Renee (her temporary roommate and travel partner) and Jill (neighbor)

On October 27, 2016 we had a service at school.
Since we can’t use electronics on Saturday, we had to tape the bima practice on Thur day night. I read my speech and read the blessings before and after and the entire Haftorah.
Add photosHere’s the speech.
And on Saturday night, Oct. 29, 2016 – THE PARTY!

Hexaflexagon
Recreated from the school website that’s blocked.HEXAFLEXAGON
Today I created a Tri-Hexaflexagon. A Tri-Hexaflexagon Is a Hexagon that Flips inside out repeatedly. I thought it was really cool from watching Vi HHeart’s video, but she goes so fast that It is hard to follow the instructions on how to make one, If there even is instructions. So I decided to figure it out.
First you take a long strip of paper, and fold it into 10 equilateral triangles. Next label them 1-10. Then, count the first 3 and fold the rest up. After that make a hexagon shape and place the end in the back. Finally, Fold the flap over the triangle that it fits with and glue those together. Tada! Hexagons have symmetry so you can fold it into a trapezoid, and that into three triangles, to make it bendy. After doing some more research I found out that there was a hexaflexagon club at Princeton university called the flexagon committee, with four famous scientists in it. Arthur Stone (creator of the hexaflexagon), Bryant Tuckerman, Richard Feyman, and John W.Tukey.Ali’s version
