Homeschool Journal 5/9/17

We learned about the taking over of America. Most of the people died because of the other countries greed. They died of sickness that they brought as well as war. We read about wind in science. Air is always moving, it never stops. So I think that makes all air wind, or is there another difference between the two that I don’t know about. If there is and you know about it please comment. I finished math really early today.

In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we learned about Paul’s letters. In History we learned about the Portuguese Empire. We read eight African, Chinese and Japanese poems. In science we learned about earthquakes.

Today we watched some little kids, one of them is rough so I went up to my room. I have been reading Brucko, I think everybody should read it, it is a little hard to read but it shows that we aren’t the only ones fighting God’s will, and what can happen if we give up fighting and . If this book doesn’t awaken a want to serve Him in you, then nothing will. It inspired a song and I will post the chorus soon, so keep an eye out for Stop Fighting by Vella Karman.

We learned more about indians in history, I am ready to learn about something else. I can’t wait till summer!!! We went to a braces appointment today. We also went to the store and bank. We didn’t get much school done. I am getting better at logic.

Today it has rained a ton, we had lunch early in case the power went out, it didn’t, sadly. It is still raining now. Lava (our cat) has been in our laps during science. Because we are learning about him!!! Science is ok, but sort of scary. I didn’t get very much school done today.

In History we learned about the Mayans. They were a city-state society. We read six poems, a lot from Germany. The thickness of lava determines who much gas it can trap. Thick lava can trap more so the pressure builds up. It also moves slower down the volcano and makes the sides steep. Runny lava lets gas escape almost right away and volcanoes with runny lava frequently erupt in small amounts. It also runs down the volcano fast so the slopes are shallow.

In history we learned about the Mayans, they lived in Mexico. I thought they lived in America, but mom said they lived in Mexico. The Mayans are interesting, they built many great things. They had a horrible religion. They did human sacrifices!!! A friend of mine, (Tutu is her nickname) and I are doing a play of the diary of Anne Frank, it is really really sad. But it is also fun, I would like to be in a play someday.

If Mongols had no food while they were raiding (which they didn’t often) they would cut open a vein on their horse, drink some blood and close it up again. Genghis Khan was 13 when he became king of his tribe. We read 5 poems about men.
