This morning I didn’t fell good so I didn’t get very much done. I felt better after lunch so I got most of school done, because I took yesterday off Mom took some things off so I managed to get all but one subject done. Thank you so much Mom!!!

In science we did a experiment. We dropped a milliliter of water on our pennies, they looked like a cross between a domed glass showcase and a magnifying glass. I put a bit extra and mine over flowed. Then we put a drop less than a milliliter on the penny (27 drops) and added one drop of soapy water, the soapy water breaks down the regular waters cohesion and the penny overflows. That was my prediction, now for the results: Try 1. overflowed before the soapy water, try 2. I put the water in the wrong place and it tipped over the side, try 3. I put everything in but the soapy water and reached over the penny to put the bowl with the water down and got the water all over my wrist, try 4. success, except my prediction was wrong. I had to put 2 drops of soapy water to get it to over flow. Now it doesn’t overflow, when I want it to. Silly water.

Today was Adi’s birthday, so I mostly took school off for the day. We went to the rocket park, witch is a playground shaped like a rocket. It is a ton of fun, on the way home we stopped at a gas station and got gas and some treats. I got a ice cream sandwich as big as my hand, and Reed and Adi got shlushies and air heads. Later mom and I went to a toy store to get a present for Adi, but they didn’t have the game mom was going to get for her. So we looked around and  found this fun little fishing game were you wind it up and it spins while the fishes mouths open and close, I had it when I was around her age and I loved it. Later we all went to the store to get stuff to make our own rock candy, I had been wanting to do this for months and Adi had just learned about sugar crystals and it seemed to be the perfect time. We also got Adi five ballons, one doc mikstuffins and the rest pink. We desided to make two orange flavored rock candys. For dinner we had homemade pizza and chocolate cake with kit cats frosted around the sides pudding on top of that and gummy worms then a layer of oreos and more gummy worms. She got a little stuffed animal mouse with a little braclet that I used as a collar and a little slinky she also got some games and $15.

Today was Adi’s birthday. We went to a big park across the river and to the store to get supplies to make rock candy. In Bible we read about the man with a legion of demons and the woman who touched His robe on His to the officials house to heal his daughter. I learned about banking in Math today. We read 7 poems mostly about children’s thoughts. We learned about Sargon building the first empire. He was the cup-bearer for a city-state king. He convinced the army officials to murder the king and make himself king. After that happened he took over all of Mesopotamia.

Today my mom babysat some friends again. The morning was very productive considering.We went on a field trip to the library, and I was almost done already checked out and stuff and Adi was just starting to look at books. I’m glad that I found everything easily, and I got some extra reading time in too.

I was “taught how to subtract again.” It’s not bad, at least it’s not to hard, plus it makes school go much quicker. Math was done in a flash because of that, so the morning went pretty smoothly altogether.

I looked up a letter the main character wrote in the book I’m reading and I had to check if it had all the parts of a good letter. The person forgot to sign the letter. The part of a good letter are heading, greeting, body, signature.

In Bible today we read about the parable of the seeds sown on the road. Later when all his followers asked him about it I did not realize that it was not only his 12 disciples but all of his other followers too. We also did a Bible Highway in The Children’s Bible Field Guide. We read 5 poems today. They were about being things in different months. We learned about the Law of Use and Disuse. It is the theory that if you don’t use a body part then your offspring will not have that body part. A man disproved it by cutting off 20 generations of mice’s tails. Their children still had tails.

Joshua was a General. In ancient times copper was mined by hand. Darwin thought whales came from bears.

Today is the first day of week two, wow time is passing so quickly. I am having a eaisier time in handwriting. And math is still the same, at least I’m doing simple addition now. All the numbers have zeros in them, it is so easy.

I had to circle all the synonams in wordly wise, it was actully sort of fun. It was easy and didn’t take a long time. I’m glad I didn’t have to do critical thinking today, it is really really hard. And I  don’t like it a lot. I wish that it didn’t exist, but sadly it still does.

Today I started school early because we have some guests over tonight and we are going (maybe) to a hot dog stand called the Wienermobile that is shaped like a hot dog. We started a new book called 12,000 Years of World History. In it we learned about Chatul Huyuk. It was the largest town of early ancient history. We read two poems today. Another new book we started was called The Trojan War. It is a somewhat non-fiction (mostly fiction) book about the Trojan War. Another new book we started is Cool Stuff 2.0. We learned about smoke detectors and a crazy fancy new toilet. A smoke detector is 85 decibels.

In the third chapter of Mark the Pharisees are already trying to kill Jesus. When Jesus was healing everyone his family tried to get him because they thought he went crazy.
