Marie’s is having a officers eat lunch free event on Tuesdays. The customers are buying the lunches for them. After all the shootings people wanted to show that they appreciate police, and the police are coming by the dozens because they consider it a safe place to go and be sure that it is okay to eat and not have to worried about poison. It is a great event and it really honors the police officers, I hope it lasts a long time.
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station launched a Japanese commercial communications satellite Sunday in Florida. It is to land on a U.S. Falcon 9 Spaceship as part of SpaceX’s mission to reuse rockets.
We did a science experiment about cohesion today. It was very fun, we put a drop each of water, soapy water, canola oil, and rubbing alcohol. Then we compared how tall they were, they were the tallest in this order water, canola oil, rubbing alcohol, and last of all soapy water.
I wrote a whole paragraph about being a gold nugget in gold rush territory from the rough draft I made yesterday. It was fun but took a while. I ended up as a gold leaf on the queens neckless. My whole family lives on the neckless with me, and we are a very close family.
In Bible we read about the paralytic being let down through the ceiling. I also learned about that David did not take the consecrated bread the priest shared it with him. In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we looked up the same verses in different Bible versions. I looked up the verses in the KJV and Vella looked up the verses in the NCV. We read four more poems today. They were mostly about wishing you could be something else. We did a Science experiment today. It was about cohesion. Cohesion is the attraction between like molecules it also known as a liquids skin. We took water, soapy water, canola oil and cleaning alcohol. We were supposed to use corn oil instead of canola oil but we didn’t have it so the experiment came out slightly wrong. We put a drop of each liquid on wax paper then compared the heights. Then we put 50 drops of each and recorded the the ml amount. The water was supposed to have more ml than anything else but the canola oil had more. I got 22% on my Korean writing quiz.
The Nile Delta is called that because it is shaped like the Greek letter Delta, a triangle.
Today we watched some friends for the morning so I didn’t get much done. One was a cute little baby and I got to hold him some.
In binder work I had to write a little story in the point of view of a gold nugget during the California gold rush. I am reading a book about a boy who runs away to California to join the gold rush with his butler. It is the book I am reading for school right now and it’s very interesting.
Handwriting is getting a little bit easier. I only have to write half a page of handwriting a day but combied with everything else and I haven’t been doing about one half an hour of writing a day sense school got out last year my hand cramps.
I started early today because we watched a four year old and a one year old from 8:00 to 12:00. Most of the day my computer had to be on the charger so I had to be on my knees on a chair to reach it and be safe. We had to write John 3:16 backwards and with no vowels. Like the Israelites did. One of our History books think towns, settlements and cities came to be by nomads staying in the fertile crescent because it was the best place year round, the other thinks it was because people wanted to trade more efficiently. We read four more poems today. I did not like them but Vella did. They were about secret places places that no one should know about.
Today was the second day of school. It was okay, not as good as yesterday though. We went on a field trip to the dentist. It was about one and a half hours long, so pretty much it was looooong, and during lunchtime. Math was the same as yesterday, and I got an A in spelling.
In history we learned about Nomads. They are people who move around to find food and stuff. They are kind of like Indians, don’t you think? Did you know that Nomads ate lizard soup? That is so discusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I thought that it was interesting that music was first used in Germany.
Science was about spontaneous generation, and there were pictures. I’m just going to leave it at that.
Today Math was a repeat Lesson. I Korean I learned compliments. I started school early today because we had to go to the dentist today for Mom’s appointment for about two hours.
Jesus only had four disciples at the point where he healed Peter’s mother-in-law. When he was healing people from demons he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was. In the Children’s Bible Field Guide we looked up a lot of verses and looked at verses that were prophesies and fulfillments of those prophesies. We also looked at verses in the prophets that showed that it was the Lord speaking through the prophets and not the prophets saying what they thought. We started a new book called The Kingdom Strikes Back. It is about the Bible. We read four more poems out of our poem book about places. There was another about John Drinkwater and one by the author of Winnie the Pooh. In Science we learned about people thinking spontaneous generation was true, like thinking that that if you put wheat in a jar with dirty underwear then a full grown mouse will come out a few weeks later.
The first day of school, first day of middle school, first day of school with braces. Somebody likes the word first a lot. Today was very fun, over the summer I got a chromebook, it’s a computer, made by chrome. Now that we’ve got that covered I’m going to go on to tell you that I got it for school and I am learning to use it. I want to be a ballerina for ballet magnificat and a foster mom when I grow up. I want to go to collage, and am looking forward to reading some awesome books for school this year!!!
Our science is about evelution, I have been told that is because we need to learn about other people”s beliefs and why they believe what they believe. It was okay, and the questions weren’t too hard.
We read some poems. I think they are nice, but Reed and Mom didn’t really. Last years poems didn’t make sense but these are pretty good. For history we learned about archaeology. It was interesting, not too bad. We also read an Encyclopedia, it was very very very bad, at least if you’re a christian.
Mark is the smallest book in the bible. It is also a tiny bit confusing. Did you know that John ate locusts and honey??? Isn’t that interesting! “The Lord is my shepherd.” with English letters is “.drphs ym s drL ht” Say that ten times fast.
Math was super duper easy. They “taught” me what decimals are, and what zeros are used for. I literally answered twenty questions about that!!!
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:
Speed:-
Memory:992
Attention:292
Flexibility:473
Problem Solving: 801
This year I look forward to our many interesting History books. When I grow up I want to be an inventor.
