Brayan

Hi my name is Brayan!

= __ Chanukah __ =

== Chanukah is a very festive holiday for the Jewish people. It commemorates the defeat of the Greeks by the Maccabees in Israel over 1,000 years ago. We light a chanukia which represents the eight days that the menorah stayed lit even though it had only the oil in it that was found in a hatch in the destroyed temple. Now we give each other gifts, eat latkes, play games with a dreidle, a four-sided toy and eat sufganiyot. Children eat gold coins made of chocolate. That’s why Chanukah is the happiest holiday for many Jewish people. ==

= ﻿ __ President Speech __ = = Hi, my name is Brayan and I think that I would be a good president for our Student Council. I hope that by the end of my speech you will vote for me. =

=
One of the reasons that I think I would be good president, is because I'm good at helping people with their work. I'm also good at being in charge, and organizing meetings. Another reason I think you should vote for me is because; I think it would be good to take on some responsibility, because when you’re older you’re going to have to take on a lot more responsibility. =====

I think that I would be a very good president for our Student Council.
I hope that you have thought about voting for me and that everyone has a great year in student council. I hope that you will vote for me.

This origami ninja star is a modular origami. You make 4 of the same basic unit, then attach them without using any glue or tape. Origami Ninja Star Step 1: Start with 2 pieces of square origami paper color sides down. You can use the same color if you want. I use 2 different colors so that it's easier to see.

Origami Ninja Star Step 2: Fold them in half. This is called a book fold. Crease well and unfold.

Origami Ninja Star Step 3: Fold both halves of each paper to meet the center crease. This is called a cupboard fold.

Origami Ninja Star Step 4: OK, we will now fold each paper in half along the vertical axis.

Origami Ninja Star Step 5: Fold them in half along the horizontal axis. Crease and unfold.

Origami Ninja Star Step 6: We now need to fold on the dash lines as shown below. Notice that the folds are now opposite of one another.

Origami Ninja Star Step 7: Let's fold the top parts first. Fold along the diagonal so that the edges line up and you form a triangle.

Origami Ninja Star Step 8: Let's now fold the bottom parts.

This is what you should have now:

Origami Ninja Star Step 9: We now need to make 4 folds as shown by the dash lines below.

Origami Ninja Star Step 10: Let's fold the left (purple) one first. Bring the top half over to the right and crease well. Bring the bottom half over to the left. The dash lines show where the crease should be.





Origami Ninja Star Step 11: Let's work on the yellow one now. The yellow is opposite from the purple. So, let's fold the top half over to the left and the bottom half over to the right. Crease where the dash lines are in the picture below.

Origami Ninja Star Step 12: OK, Now flip the purple one only.

Origami Ninja Star Step 13: Now rotate the yellow one 90 degrees counter clockwise so that it's like in the picture below.

Origami Ninja Star Step 14: Now place the yellow paper on top of the purple like so.

Origami Ninja Star Step 15: OK, now comes the somewhat tricky part. We will fold the purple over on both ends and fit them under the yellow paper. See the white dash lines? Fold the top triangle over on the white dash line and fit the tip under the yellow flap. Fold the bottom triangle over on the white dash line and fit the tip under the yellow flap. Follow the photos below.





Origami Ninja Star Step 16: FLIP Paper over and this is what you should see.

Origami Ninja Star Step 17: We will now fold the yellow tips over and fit them under the purple flap. It will be a snug fit!



Origami Ninja Star Step 18: FLIP paper over. After all your hard work, this is your origami ninja star! You can now start throwing it...just not at people! Isn't that awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Origami Water Balloon

 

 Now start to collapse the pre-folded piece of paper.  

 You will end up with the folded triangle shown below. This piece occurs so often in origami that it has its own name, the balloon base (or water bomb base).

 Now fold each of the four corners upwards as shown in the next three photos:

    Now fold the four horizontal corners into the center as shown:    Use your finger to expand the little pocket as shown below. You are going to tuck the flap into the pocket. However, the flap must first be folded in two to make it small enough for the pocket.  <span style="background-color: #ffffff; border-color: #dddddd; border-left: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-right: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-width: 1px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 10px 330px 10px 140px; min-height: 100%; padding: 2em 1em 2px; position: relative; width: 1000px; word-spacing: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; border-color: #dddddd; border-left: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-right: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-width: 1px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 10px 330px 10px 140px; min-height: 100%; padding: 2em 1em 2px; position: relative; width: 1000px; word-spacing: 0px;"> This sequence shows the flap folded, then tucked in. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; border-color: #dddddd; border-left: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-right: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-width: 1px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 10px 330px 10px 140px; min-height: 100%; padding: 2em 1em 2px; position: relative; width: 1000px; word-spacing: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; border-color: #dddddd; border-left: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-right: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-width: 1px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 10px 330px 10px 140px; min-height: 100%; padding: 2em 1em 2px; position: relative; width: 1000px; word-spacing: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; border-color: #dddddd; border-left: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-right: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-width: 1px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 10px 330px 10px 140px; min-height: 100%; padding: 2em 1em 2px; position: relative; width: 1000px; word-spacing: 0px;"> Now fold and tuck in the other three flaps. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; border-color: #dddddd; border-left: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-right: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-width: 1px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 10px 330px 10px 140px; min-height: 100%; padding: 2em 1em 2px; position: relative; width: 1000px; word-spacing: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; border-color: #dddddd; border-left: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-right: 1px dotted #dddddd; border-width: 1px; color: #191414; display: block; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 10px 330px 10px 140px; min-height: 100%; padding: 2em 1em 2px; position: relative; width: 1000px; word-spacing: 0px;"> Finally expand the balloon as shown below.
