In Bible we learned about Pharaoh’s dreams, Joseph’s interpretation of them and his promotion to second in command. In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we learned about Jesus’s birth and childhood. In History we learned about Vikings. Both of the names they are called by today are not their real name as a people. Viking was their word for sailing and Norseman was Frank for North-man. Lief Ericsson was really Lief Eric’s son. We read 10 poems about the earth and creation. In Science we learned about visible light, mirrors and lenses.

We read about pharaoh’s dreams, and Joseph was just set over the land of Egypt. Joseph just had Manasseh and Ephraim, and his brothers came to see him. Herod was a bad and power hungry ruler, he killed his own wife and sons because he thought they wanted to have his throne. An emperor once joked that it is safer to be Herod’s pig than his son.
The Norse people are attaching the Franks in history. They were sometimes called vikings, they’re boats had flat bottoms so that they could go right up to shore. We also read about Eric the Red, and Leaf the Lucky.
In science we learned about concave and convex lenses, did you know that our eyes can change between the two? Our eyes are cool, I wonder if contacts lens got the name from convex lenses.
Sky High
by Vwala •
The Little rock police department just got a new sky high surveillance tower. They were using it to lower stolen car rates and to keep watch over large crowds during the holidays. They hope to use it for those things in the future as well. They say it was unmanned a lot over the holidays but hopefully that will change in the future. So watch out criminals, here they come, sky high.

Algiers is the capital of Algeria. 3,574,000 people live in there. Algiers means the islands. They have some very poor areas in Algiers.
In math I learned about how you can have zeros in your answer when you’re doing long division. It is really easy once you understand it. Although I barely got an A, even though out of twenty-seven questions with only twenty-two counting and I got two wrong.

We read more about Joseph in Bible today. We got to the part when he is in jail but not to when he interprets the servants dreams yet. We read poems about the theater, the circus, city lights, and one weird one about wanting to be a tool or part of a building or something like that.
Did you know that they called the Frankish empire the holy Roman empire, which really makes no sense at all because first of all; they weren’t holy, holy means set apart for God, and that’s what the Jews are, second of all; they aren’t roman, so I don’t know what to think about that. Charles The Great was a Emperor of the Frankish empire, I am going to call it what it actually was no matter what they called it. He tried to have a christian empire, which is good and all except for the fact that he forced everyone to do it, there is a reason God let Adam and Eve sin, He wanted to be loved but if people are forced to love Him then it is not actually loving Him because you are being forced to do it. That was an extremely long sentence that it seems as if it should be worded better but that is the only way I know how to word it.

We read about Joseph telling the cup bearer and bread maker the meaning of their dreams. We also read more about Charlemagne in history. I didn’t really think the stuff about Charlemagne was interesting. We read more poems today. They were about George Washington.
In science we learned about nuclear fusion. Two energy types smash together and fuse, then one of the neutrons falls out because it is an extra one. Fusion reactors make the conditions that are needed for this to happen and then it adsorbs the energy that is made when this happens, I may not be all sciency or anything but some of the stuff we learn is cool. We learned how concrete is made, did you know there are crystals in it? There are 10-15% cement, 60-75% sand and gravel 5-9% trapped air and 15-20% water.

Today we learned about Joseph interpreting the baker’s and the cup-bearer’s dreams. In History we reviewed Charlemagne. We read two poems about George Washington. In Science we learned about hydrogen fusion and concrete. Plasma is made when gasses are so hot that their atoms fall apart. I did not know there is a difference between concrete and cement. Concrete is 15-20% water, 10-15% cement and 60-75% sand.

Mom went to her dentist appointment in the morning so we did together stuff late. When we did we learned about Otis I in History who wanted to revive the Roman Empire from Germany and instead founded the non-Roman, non-holy Holy Roman Empire. We also learned about Charlemagne who was the grandson of Charles the Hammer. Charlemagne actually means Charles the Great in French. We read three more poems about city functions and advantages.

In History we learned about the Franks against the Muslims and Charles the Hammer. Charles and the Franks won because the Muslims were greedy. We read four poems about city functions like the library, the zoo and the aquarium.
