Today is Saturday and I did school because I am behind. I did 19 things today and left eight things to do tomorrow. I read about the Forbidden City. It was just an Inner City that the emperor lived in and they wouldn’t let peasants into.

I am doing a current event on John Moore in the USS Razorback. I have to write about a pretend person in another country and culture. I was about to figure out his name when I had to finish school. I wrote a letter to Michael.

I learned what a rectangular prism is, it is just a 3-D rectangle like a long cube.

We learned about Guangzhou which is also known as Canton which was the setting in one of our books for school. It means “Capital of Large Province”.

Today is Friday and I feel sick today so I only did a little school today. I learned a Chinese game called fishing with paper dominos. It was hard to learn. The whole game Vella and I were stealing a civil pair back and forth.

We were out most of the morning, we went to the bank, library and the ballet store for Vella.

Today a friend came over. I got a ton done today. I am still behind though.

Today I did a lot of science. It was very hard, I had hard questions. It took a lot of time. But I finally finished it.

I also got a lot of binder work done. I wrote a paragraph about Pocahontas and what I thought of her. It was sort of fun. It took a long time. I also did a creative writing type thing where I took some sentences and put them together in a paragraph. It was super duper hard.

Today I recited a chapter of the bible to my hamster. I did it only because I was tiered of reciting it to my stuffed animals and decided that I was ready for a live audience. I also as part of current events today I read about a hamster that does trapeze. Emma (my hamsters name) you need to spend more time training.

The Valley Fire in Middletown CA has destroyed 600 houses and dislocated 13,000 people so far, 9,000 more homes are threatened. only one person was killed. A 72 year old woman with MS who was not able to exit as the fire enveloped her house.

People in the area have said that “the fire season used to be to be confined, now it’s year round.” Rain is on the way but that and the 1,200 firefighters fighting the fire will probably do little to stop the fire.
