Homeschool Journal 11/16/15

We read a poem about crabs, the poet does not like them. In 100 Gateway Cities we learned about Ha Noi. Earlier, before school I heard it mentioned in a book about war. (The city is in Vietnam.)

Whatever Happened to Penny Candy made a bold statement “Money is the base of all life. With enough money you can do anything.”

Job is doubting God, at least I think. That is not good. I wonder why Job is doing that.

In whatever happened to penny candy I was trying to understand velocity. It doesn’t quite make scents to me.

In science we learned more about genes and DNA. Did you know that some of your genes are called “junk DNA.”

Reed and I had spelling together today. It was fun, I got a 100%!!!

Job thinks God is mad at him and that He is ignoring him. Job is confusing.

In science we started a new book about nutrition. It seems ok, it has lots of experiments.

In our new book about economics we read about recessions and depressions. I was wondering during reading why money has to represent something or have some value. I mean if everybody wanted to we could just have paper and there is no gold. Because I don’t really see why it has to be valuable.

We read a poem about sidewalks. Your brain is the actual body part that feels pain. It just tells the body part receiving damage that it is getting hurt.

We started a new book about nutrition today. In it I learned the four macronutrients of the human body: water, carbohydrates, protein and fat.

I was sick today and did nothing but World Book. There are Inuits in Russia. Moscow was built in the 1300’s. English is the most widely known second language in Russia. A quarter of Russia is rural area. In Russia they have heavy lunches and light dinners.

Jobs friends aren’t wise at all! They told him some lies. That must make him a bit unhappy.

We started case for christ today. It is a lot like case for creator, it is about the same thing by the same author. It is good.

Tirana is in Albania. Tirana means ancient name of Tuscany. 538,000 live in Tirana.

We started a new book named “Whatever happened to penny candy?” It seems to start ok, it’s about economics and money. I think I will like this book even though economics isn’t my best subject. Economics is confusing!!!!! Whatever happened to bartering? The only thing that makes me think they stuck with money was because if the person who has what they need or want might not want what they have to barter, but everyone wants money.

Today in Bible Job says he thinks he will die soon. That is so sad! He tells his friends to leave because he thinks that he will die.

Kabul is in Afghanistan. Kabul means cane. 3,768,000 people live in Kabul. They say that Cane built Kabul.

Science was still about balance. We did some experiments about balance. On one we had to pick up a chair by only one of its legs, on another one we had to get out of a chair without leaning at all. The science questions were ok but they took a really long time.

We read a ok poem today about sea lions.
