We read our book about the brain today. It was all about neurons, how every decision and action you make is a different path electrical can go through your entire body. The path is called a synopsis.
Dendrites receive messages from other neuron’s axons. Axons give messages to other neurons dendrites. Your entire Nervous System is neurons.
After the chiropractor today we went to the fabric store and then we used our “buy 6 get 6 free” at DD. I ate two donuts and got sick from the sugar.
We read a poem about a girl who disguised herself as a boy and went to school ( in China) who fell in love but he did not know she was a girl so did not fall in love. He killed himself, she jumped into his grave and they turned into stones who turned into rainbows.
This morning I didn’t get to do my morning routine because I played before school.
We read John 5. It was about Jesus choosing His disciples. In our poem book, which has been weird so far, we read an OK poem about the sun.
China is the largest country by population and third largest by size. I thought it was smaller by size. I thought it was fifth. China has such a big population there is almost no wildlife. The Yellow River is the siltiest river in the world. The Yangtze River was nicknamed “China’s Sorrow” because of it’s silt. Beijing has 25 in. rainfall.
Your stomach only releases a few spoonfuls at a time to your intestines.
We did a gross experiment where we chewed a cracker for five minutes and swallowed it. I half swallowed it before five minutes and coughed it back up halfway down. Eventually Mom made me laugh and I spit it out. None of us actually did it.
POPE GIVES FORWARD OPINION OF MODERN CAPITALISM
In his speech in Ecuador on July 11 Pope Francis accuses world leaders of “cowardice” for not defending the world from modern capitalism. He also demands from the public to “rise up against modern colonialism.” Also (a turn of subject) he apologises to the Native Americans “for many grave sins by the Catholic Church” done to them “in the name of God.” Which was taken well. Many people were shocked by his strong language against greed which, according to him “the devil’s dung.” But a productive speech overall.
Redwall is a facinating book about Mathias, a young Monk in training. Cluny, a evil Warrat, attacks the mouse abbey. Now Mathias must find an ancient sword to defeat Cluny. A must read with a very complicated plot. A mystery and war book in one.
Day 11 Pinnicle 3
Wow. It’s amazing that Jesus didn’t eat for 40 days and 40 nights and wasn’t hungry during that time only after. The serpent said to Jesus to bow before him not to him. We give to much credit to Colombus. He was as bad as good. In Lessons in responcibility for boys I’m suposed to ask Mom and Dad for more rules!
Back in the day people would give thier life’s savings for 1 tulip bulb. Van O’s was smart to paint the year painting. It is a rainy so we had to do the inside Pinicle mountain. COMMPASSES AND MAPS!
Day 10
Why did John the Baptist call anyone who came to be baptized a “brood of vipers”? BBQ comes from the Arowak languege. We also learned to grow tobaco from the Arowak and tabaco was the main source of money in Virginia. Back in the day they didn’t consider a slave a person.
Day 9
We tested Ph and Turbidity, the pond is healthy and we caught a freshwater sponge.
Day 8
The Bible skips years in the story of the Bible. Indian tribes are related to other tribes. God must have something with food because to Adam and Eve he said don’t eat the friut on the tree. To Abraham he don’t eat undrained meat.
Day 7
Wow, I can’t imagine not leaving church for years and someone did that with the temple in bible times. I wonder why the indians though Colubas was from heaven. They had no reason to. I think the book that said everything is good about Colobus is getting closer to reality. I read the bible more enthusiacticly today.
Mom came in during 1-3 to ask my reading questions and do spelling. We finished school early for starting at 11:30. We have more time in the Lyricle Life Science instead of 2 days to do the worksheets we have 4. I learned that virus’s are not alive and that some bactieria do not need oxygen to live. Hibernation is sleeping through the winter and estaration is sleeping through the summer.
Plant cells are smaller than animal cells.
