A LESSON ON PH

           Every chemical in the world has a pH. The pH scale goes from pH 1 to pH 14. Vinegar is an acid. Its pH is about 2. On the pH scale, less than 7 is an acid. Baking soda is a base. Its pH is about 8. On the pH scale, higher than 7 is a base. If a base is higher than 7, and if an acid is lower than 7, what is pH 7? Can you name something with a pH of 7.

UNTITLED (science project II) by KATO

The human body is great

thank god we are not a snake
We are born with feet
our body produces heat

We could spy
thanks to our eyes
Growing my body keeps me waiting
When I am done guess who will be amazing

INSPIRATION from "The Wonderful Chuang Brocade" by VICTOR

I got inspired by ''The Wonderful Chuang Brocade''. This picture shows, a 'singing' river with full of fishes, red dark roses from her blood (the woman worked day by day and her eye's hurt from the pine-oil lamps), and images of the woman's village. -- Victor

A RIDDLE by ZOE ENG

A Riddle

By: Zoe Eng

My mother’s beloved brocade flew away,

To a fairy land it stayed.

Her tears and blood was weaved into her art,

Now that it’s gone,

Pain and sadness fills her heart.

My brothers set off for a dangerous quest,

Hoping nothing but the best.

When they didn’t return from their journey,

It was up to me to challenge the leaping flames and icy sea.

I had my mother’s life to save,

That’s why I had to be fearless and brave.

WHO AM I?

LETTER TO AUTHOR by NICHOLAS NG

April 7^th, 2012

Dear Washington Irving,

I have read your story-“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”. I am very interested in what happened in the story. It is very mysterious and interesting what happens at the end. Why was it that the headless horseman could pass the bridge that was said it was a stopping point for the headless horseman?

In the story, Katrina gets mad at Ichabod. They were having an excellent time. Why did Katrina get Angry? Also, the town in which the story takes place in is Sleepy Hollow. Is there a certain reason why this town is called Sleepy Hollow?

Was it brom bones who threw the pumpkin at Ichabod? Did he dress up as the headless horseman? I really like this story and want answers to what had happened that night with Ichabod. This story always makes me wonder if brom bones had dressed up as the headless horseman. Now, is there still unexplained mysterious vanishing in the town of Sleepy Hollow? One last question- why did the mysterious headless horseman chase after Ichabod Crane and not other people?

Warm Regards,

Nicholas Ng
