Month: April 2016

I have been reading for the last 150 days one Psalm everyday for my Bible Reading subject. If the curriculum had not split 119 into four days then I would have finished today. In Science we learned about scientists wanting to make “perfect people” also known as elites. If this technology came out only the rich people would be able to get and then these people’s kids would be even smarter so they would make more money and that would take money from the poor so they wouldn’t be as smart as all the rich people.

I had a really hard time with binder work. I was supposed to think of a hook for a paragraph about the pro’s and con’s of having the sabbath. I ended up moving it to tomorrow, because it is past my bedtime right now and I still haven’t finished school. I told you about my prep for this writing assignment yesterday and tomorrow I will do the real thing.

In science we learned about leavening agents, the top three are, baking soda, baking powder, and yeast. Leavening agents work by releasing carbon dioxide, air, or steam when mixed with liquid and those gases make things rise.

In bible we learned about Jerusalem attacked. In Science we learned about leavening agents and what they do to leaven. The three main agents are yeast, baking soda and baking powder. They all create carbon dioxide when mixed with water and and acid. Yeast also requires a certain temperature and sugar. The gases that cause leavening are carbon dioxide, air and steam.

In Bible we read about the doomed flock of people who will face God’s wrath. God said “Let die who will die. And annihilate those who will be annihilated. And let who is left eat their flesh. In 100 Gateway Cities we learned about Ouagadougou. It means place of the Ouaga people. It is the capitol of Burkina Faso.

Today we read a weird poem about coat hangers. in 100 Gateway Cities we read about Bamako, the capitol of Mali. It means crocodile pool. It has 1,708,000 people. In Mary Slessor she went back to Africa and moved further inland.

Today Mom gave us a choice of doing a Journal today without notes to see if we could retain the knowledge. I chose to and Vella did not. In Bible we read about the punishment of the Gentiles. In Science we learned about compasses and maps. Our historic Read Aloud is about a missionary to Arica named Mary Slessor. Today in our reading she got Malaria and has to go back to Scotland to recuperate.
