Today I pretty much just did last weeks school, I wrote a biography and made a timeline about my grandma. It took and hour to do the timeline and I also had to do the biography, I was supposed to interview her, write it, and do the time line in three days plus all my other school, now I am way behind and I still haven’t finished last weeks school!!! And the computer broke so I couldn’t do math, so all I did today was write a biography, and make a timeline about my grandma, some current events, and write a poem sort of like the types in psalms, I haven’t even started this weeks school yet!!! Here is the poem:
My family is great
they don’t get mad
when I burn the chocolate cake
they love me so sweetly
but sometimes they’re crazy
but I love them so
my family is great
Loopy Doopy

A wall painting by Sol Lewitt was installed at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Benton. It is called Loopy Doopy, and it has been said it makes you dizzy if viewed at a close range. It is a a great spot next to a bunch of windows so that it can be seen from their restaurant and or walk right next to it in a tunnel. It was interesting to install, and it is only contracted to stay there for a few years. So that’s Loopy Doopy for you.

In science we learned about our body systems, and one of those is the digestive system. Did you know that our small intestines are about four times our body length, that is really long!!! No wonder it takes three days to digest something! We learned this equation, glucose + oxygen + carbon dioxide + energy, I think they might have made some typos, because I copied it from the book it still doesn’t make sense to me. If you understand it please comment.

Did you know that Agustus Ceasar was ruling when Mary had Jesus? H is the one who called the cencus. And the angels came up with the saying peace on earth goodwill to men. We learned about the beginning of christianity according to our history book, it wasn’t too bad, it was mostly correct and didn’t put it down that much. Have you hear of the Labarum? It is a christian symbol, I copied the picture of it that was in the book and that is part of the picture I’m putting at the bottom of the page.
