At the sound of the bell, I hurried out of class. I knew where I wanted to go, yet I hesitated remembering my conversation with my mom that morning. “Are you going to Chemistry Club during your free period?” she asked. “Maybe” I replied unenthusiastically. “There is also a craft in the library to make magnets with banned book quotes.

In this world, it seems like everybody hates everybody else, but if there is one thing most people can agree on, it is this: chemistry sucks, especially for those who find it super tough. But maybe it isn't that boring after all. Here are 6 interesting facts you didn't know about the first six elements in the periodic table (one for each element) to lighten up your day, and make you want to get yo...
Editor's Note: We published Tristan Hui's story "Coconut Pudding" in the September issue of Stone Soup. In this post, Tristan gives us some background on the subjects she chose to write about.
In a seventh grade History unit, every student in my class made a model house of someone living in a certain place, and wrote a creative story based on the culture.
My dad parked the car in the parking lot of the performing arts center. I hopped out of the car. It wasn’t the first time I had been there. My family often came here to listen to concerts. But this time, something was different. I wasn’t here to listen. I was here to play. I grabbed my violin and followed my parents to the staircase. I was excited.
When I began composing this song, I started with a motif- the few notes of melody on which a song is based. Next, I messed around on the keyboard until elaborated the melody, added a B section, and returned to the original motif. Finally, my piano teacher helped me add the left-hand harmony.
