Homeschool Journal 3/14/17

We read a poem called something like this, Da Boyee Fom Rome. I liked it and it was funny to listen to Mom try to pronounce it, I said I liked it and Mom said I should memorize it for something coming up for school. I like the poem but my Italian accent is not really an accent it is more of an awful mispronounciation, I’m just that good.

We read about the history of something we read about in a historical fiction book. We also read about what happened to the Jews after the book finished.

In science we learned that the Chinese are really worried about counter-fitting, we also learned about passports and airplane security. Did you know X-rays can’t go through metal? We also learned about atoms. Did you know there is a nucleus in an atom? Okay, that was totally sarcastic.

We read about Gideon in Bible. He destroyed the alter of Baal and God saved him from death. We read poems about freedom, I believe it is about the revolution. We read one about Daniel Boone too, it is quite a long poem, not as long as The Lady of Shallot.

We read about Robin Hood in history, that is one of my favorite folk tales. I would hate living under the feudal system, you would always be under someones control and in dept. We also learned more about the “struggle for Spain.” We learned about the Moors, if there was an E before the S then they would be related to us but they aren’t. Isn’t it fun to say Grenada?

Homeschool Journal 3/10/17

We read about Deborah in Bible. They won against the kings. God always keeps His promises like the song, “Promise Maker, Promise Keeper.” We read some really really weird poems about Billy and somebody. It rhymed so it wasn’t soo bad. We read a ton more about kids that were weird.

Homeschool Journal 3/9/17

I have to write a SciFi story for school. SciFi isn’t my genre, I can’t wait to be done with it and school in general. I read more about Japan’s history, they copied China for a really long time. I wouldn’t have wanted to live in Japan then. Adi and I had a picnic at the gardens, a gazebo is next to the gardens and we ate and played there while Reed and Mom put more cardboard down. I made chocolates with marshmallow in the center for Purim, I can’t wait for Purim it is one of the celebratory Jewish feasts. Purim is on Sunday.

No Selling Notes?

Online websites that encourage learning have been paying for collage student’s notes. But Arkansas Universities aren’t sure whether to allow it or not. Different teachers and collages have different ideas on it, and some students have gotten in trouble for being “notetakers.” Some websites want the students to upload quizzes and tests as well. We will see what gets decided in the UA schools.

We read poems about birds today. We learned more about the different states of matter. We went to the gardens and put cardboard around our plot to keep to weeds from growing. I made a pulley system to open my door, turn on my light, and turn off my light from my bed depending on which one it is set up for at the moment. Dad came home early because Mom went to the chiropractor at 3:30 p.m.

Homeschool Journal 3/7/17

Today we went down to the gardens, our new plot is double the size of our old one and we have our old one too!!! It also has wild strawberries and I think raspberries too!!! I want to grow carrots and green beans and maybe some onions, we are going to grow flowers too!!!

In Bible we learned more about God being our shepherd, He is our shepherd because He was and is willing to die for us and He protects us and loves us very much. I like being His shepherd because He is always there for us and He always listens to us no matter how much we complain. He loves us more than we can imagine and He takes care of us.

The disciple I would most want to be like is John because he got to prepare the world for Jesus. Today I had a lot of school to do. We got another garden plot and I am planning on selling homegrown vegetables to help me go to a two week christian ballet summer intensive. The total including taxes is about 2,000 so I better get money making. There is a sequel to my favorite book, The Candymakers. I can’t wait to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are thinking about unschooling me next year. It wouldn’t be fully unschooling, I would still do math, science, history, and so on.

Russia Wants Trump?

Did Russia interfere with the election for Trumps favor? Maybe, maybe not. Researchers are trying to find out. Some people say that democrats are just saying that because they are mad that Trump won. But we will find out the truth when the research is done.

Homeschool Journal 3/2/17

I had a lot of school to do today. I did math and got an A+. It was ok. I was supposed to do an experiment but I haven’t done it yet. I don’t remember much because it is now next week.
