We read seven poems about bugs, especially bees. In History we learned about the Roman Empire. They took the Greek gods and gave them different names like Zeus to Jupiter. Most of our planets were given names after the Roman gods. The Romans were the first to use concrete by mixing different materials. In Science we learned about the fossil record of flowering plants. The evolutionistic scientists do not know how they supposedly came from non-flowering plants. Out of 300,000 plant species 250,000 are flowering.

This week is our week off but we were behind so we did some school today. I finished except for what I can’t do. In Bible we read some more 1 Corinthians.

I don’t know what was supposed to happen but it didn’t.
