We read about Jacob wrestling with that man. I wonder what or who he was. Was he an angel? Was he God or Jesus? Or was he something else? We also read about Nehemiah, his enemies tried to trick him by using fear, and lies. they also used false prophets, and said God was against their deeds. The reason Nehemiah had success was because he obeyed God no matter what. We read more crazy poems today, I wish we didn’t have poems next year, or come to think of it this year either. They don’t teach us anything except for that most poems are crazy!!! We signed a petition for no more poems but mom wouldn’t do it. We read about Australia in history. They ate disgusting things, like roasted moths and bats, and snake meat!!! We learned more about energy in science. There is heat, chemical, light, food, potential, sound, magnetic, nuclear and so on. We have to use the crazy math triangles.

Homeschool Journal 1/24/27

In Bible Laben went after Jacob for seven days and confronted him for running away. We read five poems about milking and houses. We did an experiment about the color spectrum where we put a cup in a dish of soapy water and made a bubble.

Journal Homeschool 1/24/17

We read about Labon catching up with Jacob, and their covenant. We read poems about things from cows to apples to houses near woods to houses on a hill, I think they are supposed to have some sort of theme.

In science we learned about density. They answered questions like how do submarines go up and down, why does wood float and rocks don’t, and why does a big metal boat float? We also did a science experiment, we made a bubble in the top of a cup, and we watched it get thinner and more colorful until it popped. We just learned about light waves and measured them, so we talked about what we think happened as we blew on it and how the color was shaped.

 In LA I had to start research for a report about Arkansas, I found a lot of good things. I found out where Arkansas got its name, and I also found out when it was first explored. I learned some new interesting things about Arkansas!!!

In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we learned about the rebuilding of Jerusalem. In Bible Jacob ran away from Laben, his father in law. We read two poems about potatoes and corn. The oldest dynasty in the world is the one in Japan.

Homeschool Journal 1/19/17

I think that Jacob made up the idea of giving a tenth of your things to God. I didn’t know it was his idea! We read a crazy folk tale about a guy named Sinbad, he got stranded.

We learned more about Islam, mosques, and Muhammad. Did you know that the crescent is the sign of Islam? I have no idea why.

We read some crazy poems that I don’t understand and don’t care to relate.

Homeschool Journal 1/23/17

In Bible we read about when Jacob went away from his father in law. We also learned about Zackariah and Hagiah.

Japan is one of the oldest nations. Honshu is the biggest and most dominant island of the four  in Japan. They believe in Shintoism and Buddhism. Japan started a dynasty called the Yamato dynasty a long time ago and they are still on the throne today.

We went to Walmart today, we did a pickup. Then we went to the library. We read about Jacob’s wives and kids. It is very confusing.

In history we learned about China and it’s dynasties. The names are a bit interesting, we learned about the building of the grand canal, and China’s golden age.
