Homeschool and Vacation Journals 11/20-11/24/17

This is Thanksgiving break, but I am catching up in school. So I will be doing school on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I will also be doing school on Saturday. But I will not write a journal for that because we are doing Thanksgiving on Saturday.

School was hard. I had a test in math, I don’t understand cross multiplying. And I am very frustrated about it. I finished writing my letter to the editor, it was sort of fun. I learned about dialogue uses and formatting this week, it is useful, interesting, and fun.

Yesterday we got a package with presents from our grandparents. (On my mom’s side.) It was very nice of them to send us presents for no reason. I am going to write them a thank you letter. I got a really good book of all God’s promises for us. I also got a small shawl, or a very big scarf, depends on how you look at it. (Either way it is very fuzzy.)

I did two spelling days today. I had to spell cay, except it is pronounced key. It is really weird, I got it wrong. I had to spell quay earlier this week. It is also pronounced key.

I did Duolingo. Duolingo is my spanish. It is easier and fun, I like it and it doesn’t take very long. I leveled up today. I’m on level ten now!

I tried to figure out the very frustrating thing in math I had yesterday. I actually had it right. So I did all that work and was frustrated for nothing. Ohh well. At least I had it right. The rest of math was mostly ok.

In LA I had to write a dialogue between a character in a book I had read and myself. (Not my friend.) It was pretty fun but took a lot of time. I wrote it with me talking to JJ, a character in Captain Nobody. (One of my favorite books. I am about to reread it for the thousandth time.) The first couple times I read it, it was weird because we call my grandma on my dad’s side JJ.

We are doing thanksgiving today because mom had to work yesterday. I am also doing school today even though I didn’t yesterday. Which doesn’t really make sense. But I did. I did a math lesson. Which I really didn’t want to do, but I did it anyway. I am all ready for next week except for reading a book which I need to get from the library. So that was today.

I was supposed to be taking notes for this week. But I didn’t. It is too late now, and I don’t remember what happened, so I can’t write a journal. I will try harder to take notes from now on. I am going to work on getting my school done on time too. I am sorry.

TRUMP, MAYOR CLASH OVER HURRICANE RECOVERY

by  • 

Trump clashed with the Democratic mayor of San Juan over whether or not the US is doing enough in recovery assistance to Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria. Trump says that the island should assist more in it’s own recovery and the mayor says Trump isn’t doing enough while they both say the US territory needs more supplies.
