We started reading Mark in Bible today. It is the shortest Gospel and the first written. Peter and Andrew were the first disciples. The Bible has been translated into over 2,000 languages. There are no vowels in Hebrew. When someone copied the Torah or Bible in ancient Israeli culture they would check the letter count of the original and of the one they wrote, then the word count then the middle letter of each word. The King James Bible was written in the same year as one of our Lamplighter books, The Hedge of Thorns. We started a new book called the Children’s Bible Field Guide. Another new book we started is called Favorite Poems old and new. We read four of the poems from it today they were all weird and about being yourself. One of them was by a man named John Drinkwater. Another one of our books is called the Story of the World. I read some of it last year. It is very interesting. In 1086 there was a book published that listed all the properties in England who owned them and how much they were worth it was called The Doomsday Book. Historia means investigation. In yet another new book Evolution: The Grand Expirement we learned that 48% of the population in the U.S. believe that the world was created in the last 10,000 years. In Lumosity my scores are:

This year I look forward to our many interesting History books. When I grow up I want to be an inventor.
