Today I watched Adi while Reed and mom went out. I gave her a Raggedy Ann face paint and colored her and my hair a bit red, it is fun. I didn’t get much school done because of this stuff so here is what I was doing instead today. I also went to the scout store with Mom, Reed, and Adi and also got a present for Reed. So that is what I did today.

In History we learned about the Myceneans and the Persians. The Myceneans were a group of people groups named after the most important of the people groups. Supercomputers have 131,000 microchips and is two million times faster than a laptop. Went to the Chiropractor and the scout shop.

Today mom and Adi went to the store, and library and Reed and I stayed home to do school. I probably spent at least an hour on critical thinking, I had to take strips of paper and fold them, and then I had to cut them into circles to make big and small hooked circles. It was really hard because if the paper was too thick then it wouldn’t fold, but if it was too thin then it would brake and not form the loops, and for about half of it the scissors I was using weren’t working right.
Math was okay. It didn’t teach me anything today, I am on lesson 20 something and I have already done 4 quizzes, I wonder when it will stop reviewing? Oh well, better too easy than too hard.

We started school late today. We did our together stuff backwards from poems to The Children’s Bible Field Guide. We read four more poems about Chirstmas. In History we learned about the rise of the Persians and Cyrus the Great. If he was such a fair person why did he steal the throne from his grandfather?

I burned both of my hands while making lunch today, It is the worst that I’ve burned myself in a while, and I burn myself about 3-4 times a month. We have to go get new wires and stuff this month, and I am not looking forward to it. Math is still teaching me stuff I already know, so there’s not much left to tell, yesterday I was “taught” how to tell time, I think they are using lessons from last year, I recognize them.
I don’t have any more LA this week because I was supposed to learn how to and then write a journal, but mom said I didn’t have to because as you all know I write one almost every day.
I took notes for a current event about a the senate vote about whether to let people sue Saudi Arabia or not, you should read it once it’s done. It was interesting, I think that we shouldn’t let people sue, because then Saudi Arabia will be mad at us. But then again I probably don’t know the whole of it.

Today in History we learned about Homer and read the story of the Cyclops from the Iliad. Iliad was one of my spelling words today so I can spell it. We three read poems about Christmas. In Science we learned more about whales. The one that supposedly first had a fluke actually they did not find the tail bone and rest of the skeleton did not have the right vertebrae to have a fluke. A random fact I found today is what wind speeds define different wind types:
4-31 mph=breeze
32-63=gale
64-73=storm
74 and higher=hurricane

I read about Moses being found by the Egyption princess in the Bible today, I really like this story about Moses because I like how he is in the basket and that the princess is nice and keeps him from being killed by taking him, I am just assuming that she is doing it to be nice.
Science is still about whale evolution, they can’t agree what animal they think whales came from. It is very… crazy, they are using absolute circular reasoning.

Today we learned about how the barbarians who took over Greece became “civilized”. we learned about the Greek alphabet and the Olympics. We read six poems about fall and fog. We read about an alligator that scientists called a “walking whale” in Science.

Today is a Yom Teruah. It is the day of shouting, and yesterday was the feast of trumpets, We try to do the calls on the shofar but it a small one and it is very hard to do, picture this, me red faced and huffing blowing into a little rams horn about the size of dad’s hand making a sound like a dying cow. It is one of the fun Jewish holidays, it lasts until sundown tomorrow.
The Mycenaeans were the first to use horses in battles, they were really good at gold work too. We learned about Passover in bible, we were supposed to learn about it, but sense we celebrate it every year mom said that we don’t have to do it. We read the Trojan War, I don’t like it, I don’t understand most of it because it is a hard book to follow. Poems were okay, mom liked one of them today.
