We learned about the Mycenaean who took over Crete today. They were the first to use chariots and war horses. Homer was a Mycenaean because they were a Greek tribe. We read six poems mostly about school subjects like math and geography. We had to read The Trojan War. In Science we learned about the fossil record of whales. They have more variety of fossils of ancient whales than other things.

In the time between Joseph inviting his family to Egypt and the Exodus the Hyksus had already taken over Egypt and been driven out. I am is Yahweh in Hebrew.

Mexico-U.S. wall

There is a wall in between Mexico and the U.S. It is a big wall and it makes it so that relitives can’t even touch more than grazing a finger, much less hug. They let people hug every once in a while, but only every once in a while. When it was dedicated, in 1971 First Lady Pat Nixon said “I hope there won’t be fence here too long.” Well so much for that, here we are in 2016, and that fence is still there and even more preventive.

We are learning about ancient Egypt, I like learning about tutankhamun and the kings. It is really interesting and we were reading a historical fiction book about a king who has to run away to keep from being killed by the Assyrians. It was really interesting and he meets king Hezekiah in it, it was really fun to read.
