We read the Introduction to Story of the World Volume 3: Early Modern Times. It contained two poems. We continued 12,000 Years of World History with an overview of the years 1500-2000. In Algebra 1 I started at Practice C and went to most of the way through the next lecture. We finished history is 30 minutes and did Bible the rest of the time. We were not scheduled to do Bible today. For Bible we read the Introduction the The BBC Manual BBC meaning Bedroom Bible College. In the actual Bible we read the Sermon on the Mount. For Read Alouds we started A Murder For Her Majesty. I did not finish Reading were I started The King’s Fifth about a law is Spain that required a fifth for tax on valuable metals. The only person left alive with knowledge about some buried treasure, a young cartographer, is put on trial for not revealing the location. I also did not finish my Science where I started a very interactive Physical Science book. After writing this I will possibly help my sisters make the cake for the first day of school celebration for Adi. After that or if I do not do that I will finish my reading for today. Then finish my science experiment of which I will have one every day this year. Then work on some more Algebra 1, English and last year’s science experiments that we did not finish yet. I am reading a book about Multiple Intelligence’s but have not read at all today.

Today I did a full lesson of math, picked a local current event which was hard because we don’t get the newspaper anymore and wrote the introduction and conclusion to my research paper. I still did not go to the pool. I don’t want to except for lap swim. There is a website known as chesskid that I played today. Vella was sick today.
