Nate’s Blogs

Hi it’s Nate again, this week my goal was to try and learn famous people today and then that played the piano, I also learned some chords and started to learn For Elise. Something I accomplished this week is that when I got home I practiced some chords on my own piano and some notes to For Elise. A struggle I had this week was timing the notes at the right time on my piano at home. Some adjustments I made were putting the key I needed to play on the piano like C D E F G A or B next to the note on the paper of the notes for the song. Next week I will practice some of the notes I need to play for my right hand and try and work with my left hand as well. See you next time for the next blog coming up. Thank you!

It is important to be a good neighbor. Being a good neighbor is not difficult there are many ways you can become good friends with your neighbor and become a good neighbor. Saying hi when they walk by you or when you just see them is very polite, letting them borrow your lawnmower when theirs breaks down, or inviting them to dinner or just to come hangout at your house, or just baking them a sweet treat are some things to make you become a good neighbor. Some more examples is if they have a kid or some kids, you should invite them to come play at your house play some ball outside or play video games and hang out. Also communicate with them get to know them better. Always pick up your dog’s poop as well because no one wants to see it on their yard! Lastly if there is a new neighbor that just moved in give them a proper greeting, welcome them to the neighborhood, and you can bake them a sweet treat as well.

Hi my name is Nate, this week I worked on learning the notes on the piano the white keys and the black keys, I also learned about some of the most famous composers that played the piano. I accomplished learning the different letters for the notes like C D E F G A B and one way to know how to read the notes on the lines is every (E) good (G) boy (B) does (D) fine (F) and only in the spaces you read it F A C E. I didn’t have any any struggles this week but I kind of struggled on the black keys because there are flats and sharps. An adjustment I made was when I just talked about the notes on the piano when I was taking notes but then I thought of drawing a diagram with the notes on the piano keys to help me better understand the notes on the piano. Next week I am going to research a famous and well known song and learn how to play it. Thanks for reading see you next week!

This summer I am going to Honolulu Hawaii, I am really looking forward to this because this is the first time I am going with my two cousins that haven’t been to Hawaii ever, all the other times I went on my own with my family and with my other cousin but this time I am going with both cousins, we will be staying at a resort and spa called Aulani it has swimming pools, scuba diving, breakfast, restaurants, you can also go to the ocean, rent a boat, and you can also meet the Disney characters, they also sometimes have shows and dances, water slides gift shops, and more. Aulani is a Disney resort made by Disney it is kind of like Disneyland, except it is in Hawaii and it doesn’t have any rides it just has some water slides and pools like a water park but way more fun. The hotel rooms are really nice and have a really nice view from the balcony. There are also really good places to eat nearby there are some stores as well. That is what I have to share for my free write.

Hello my name is Nate, for my 20% project I am learning about the piano, like how the piano functions, what are the most famous songs played on the piano, who are some of the greatest composers, how to play one of the famous songs etc. This week my goal was to learn how the piano functions and what do the pedals do on the piano. I took a photo of the different names of the pedals the names are the Soft Pedal the one on the left, the Sostenuto Pedal the one in the middle, and lastly the Sustain pedal the one on the right. I did not have any struggles this week, however there was a lot of things to learn about the mechanism when you press one of the piano keys. When you press a note it is a chain reaction that leads to a hammer that hits a string the lower the note the thicker the string and makes the sound last more and there is a thing called the Damper on top of the string and when you take off your finger from the key the Damper falls down and stops the sound, the higher the note the thinner string. The sound lasts a little bit and doesn’t need a Damper because the sound fades away so quickly it doesn’t really make a difference. This is all I learned this week see you next week.

There are so many people I would want to invite to dinner, but these are my top three: Bugs Bunny, SpongeBob SquarePants and Daffy Duck are three people I would love to invite to dinner at my house. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are from Looney Tunes and SpongeBob is also from a show that takes place in Bikini Bottoms. The reason I would want to have dinner with Bugs Bunny because he is a funny, and cool cartoon character and I just think it would be cool having Bugs Bunny at your dinner table. Next is Daffy Duck he is also a very funny cartoon character and I used to love Looney Tunes as a kid so that is why I chose Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Lastly is SpongeBob the reason I chose SpongeBob is because he would be the one that cooks he would cook Krabby Patties. I have always wanted to try Krabby Patties they just look really good. Those are all the reasons why I would have dinner with these cartoon characters.

My dream job is to be a doctor. The reason I want to be a doctor is because I like helping other people it is just a good feeling when you help someone. I also want to become a doctor because you have trust from other people because they trust you to help them feel better. My third reason is I like challenges and it is difficult to become a doctor, but not impossible you have to work hard do good in school, pass a medical test, apply for a medical school and earn a medical license. My fourth reason is there will be a variety of career paths I can take if I can become a doctor, like emergency medicine, general medicine, pathology, pediatrics, psychiatry, surgery, anesthetics, neurology, sports medicine, cardiology, internal medicine, trauma, orthopedics, and more. My last reason my dream job is to become a doctor is because it is really interesting to learn about medicine, the human body, the functions of the human body and so much more.

I am invisible for 24 hours! First I would rob a store and get all the games for my console and I would also get the newest version of my console the PS5 because I have the PS4 and it’s pretty outdated. Next I can just sneak in into games for free at stadiums like football, soccer, hockey, and more because the tickets are usually very expensive and I can watch my favorite teams and players in person not on tv. Next I would scare people by lifting objects and it will look like the objects are floating on their own. Lastly I would sneak on a plane and travel to Hawaii go swimming chill for a couple of hours. Fly back home which leaves me with like 2 hours left, rush home and make it just in time and that’s what I would do if I had invisibility for 24 hours.

Month 5 of being abandoned on this island I call it, “The Island of Torture” I got stranded on this island when my ship accidentally sailed through a war zone and we were hit by a bomb we were all separated from each other, I think the ship computers were not working. Somehow and luckily I made it out alive. I swam with a wooden board until I found an island, I tried calling 911 on my phone but there was no reception. I started making my shelter with my wooden board I attached it to two trees. I tried to find some food but all I could find were some berries, they were pretty good until my face flared up. I also found a monkey and he became my friend he also brings me bananas, that’s what I’ve been eating for the last 5 months, I’ve tried fishing but there was not a single fish I could catch so I just stuck to bananas. I also wrote a giant HELP in the sand but so far no planes have flown over this island or rescue boats nothing. I’m planning on building a little cottage here to protect me from the harsh weather here but I don’t have the supplies yet. Hope I find safety soon.

When I was a little kid, I came home from school and started doing my homework, after I was done with my homework I had free time so I was just going to go outside and practice some soccer. I took out the soccer and the goal and started kicking it into the net, and then I saw a giant tent over my neighbor’s house it looked like a circus canopy so I thought there would be people on tightropes in the house, professional jugglers, big crowds, clowns, lion taming, trapeze, knife throwing, magicians, fire breathing all kinds of circus stunts. So I went to ask my parents if we could go see the circus, but they laughed and said there is no circus inside it is just a fumigation. I asked what is a fumigation? They said it was a process where people with proper suits went inside the house to purify and disinfect the house with chemicals to kill the termites and other bugs in the house. Even though that was not a circus I still used to imagine it as a circus.
