Hello Vella Karman here, a homeschooled 11 year old. I am in 6th grade. I like to dance ballet, especially point, and I also write my own stories. I can't see what I am doing in ballet but I can feel the beauty of it, and I praise God with it. Maybe later I will post some of my stories, I want people to see my work but I am afraid they will think it's terrible and say I am awful at writing. But I still want your comments even if that's what you have to say, I'll try not to take it personally, I am looking for constrictive criticism so say what you really think.

Today I didn’t have any LA because I already did it yesterday before we decided to do the day befores’ work. However you pluralize that? Before doesn’t exactly have possesion… If you know please comment! ‘Cause I don’t!

I wrote a current event on an airport making more handicapped parking spaces today. (It is titled “Lend a Hand to the Handicapped” if you would like to read it.) I learned how to spell handicapped. It is crazy the things you don’t realize you don’t know how to spell until you are writing about it on a blog that shows that the word is spelled wrong! Handicapped, I couldn’t spell halloween until last halloween when I wrote about it on the blog. (Speaking of learning how to spell halloween, it is good that I learned it because it was one of my spelling words today! Is that crazy or what?)

Lend a Hand to the Handicapped

The Clinton airport is one of the biggest airports in Arkansas. They were recently inspected, and it was discovered that they didn’t have the required amount of handicap parking. It was  decided they should put most of the handicap parking in one area as well as adding more. Thirty-four parking spaces were added 34, most of them are short-term in the west parking lot. They decided it works best that way because there is not a lot of street traffic on the route they will take to the doors of the airport. They also voted to give the people parking in handicapped spaces the lowest rate possible. At the moment that is $8. So there we have it folks, we are lending a hand to the handicapped!

Today I went with Adi to gymnastics. They got to climb the rope today! Adi already knew she could climb halfway up, (and their ceiling is way higher than a school gym) She climbed probably about 6, 7 ft. up. I know! Is that crazy or what! That girl can climb for a 6 year old! Congrats Adds!! (Adds is my nickname for her.) Since we were really busy yesterday I got to just finish yesterday today. We are finally on the right day of the week now! I only had four subjects but math took a while.

I am reading the Psalms for my on my own school Bible reading. That sounds confusing if you are not familiar with it, it really means that I read it on my own, (as in I read it by myself) but it is for school and I don’t get to pick what I read when. See, it’s really simple but it sounds confusing! I am on Psalm 25. That means I have done 24 days of reading, because I have been doing one chapter a day except for the one day I had to do two. (I don’t know why they had me do two, they just did.)

Today we went on field trip to mom’s womens study. It was fun, we played in there playroom. (It was at a family friends house.) But, between that, playing a game of chess, and going to the library I didn’t get all of my school done. After I got back from ballet, ate dinner, and showered I did more school so all I have left to do tomorrow is math, Bible, and electives.

In English I learned more about character development. I learned about all the ways they make the characters seem real. How they act, react, how others talk about them, and how others act towards them all make them seem more real and add up to make their character. So it is sort of more complicated than just describing them in more detail.

Today I got a package that had not given me all that was paid for. I got two of the thing! Isn’t that so cool! I am so excited! Mom went for a Khols interview today and she got the job? Isn’t that exciting! And she might not be a seasonal employee! She is going to have a thousand times better work hours though!

Did you know that the East India Company ruled/was the government for India? Crazy isn’t it? I thought they were just the missionary heads!

Religion has caused so many battles, revolts, riots, and even wars! About half the wars fought were caused by the clashing of different religions, and rulers taking sides didn’t help either! The other half were caused by greed. Greed is obviously wrong, but what about religion? Religion is not wrong, but forcing religion on someone is wrong, and that is almost what started all of the wars on religion. We ought to have learned not to do that by now, don’t you think?

Today we are doing a Mondays work on a  Fridays schedule. I know that seems confusing, and trust me it is. (I keep on thinking it is an actual Monday and then I think well it was Friday yesterday and yesterday I was thinking that if we could skip work that day we could be on the right day then… Today is a Friday!) It is getting me all mixed up! We went on a field trip and saw dad at lunch and then went to the store.

Today I started a brand new reader. It is called homesick and it is the Fictionalized story of Jean Fritz, written, by Jean Fritz, and fictionalized, by Danny Gofer… Just kidding, it was fictionalized by Jean Fritz too. I don’t think I quite like it. It is not… Well… Something that I would read otherwise… Like… It would be a book that I pick up at the library and less than halfway through realize that, as a Christian I shouldn’t read this. Seriously, I am sort of concerned.

I wrote a journal for this day. But it has apparently been erased! I don’t think it will be fair if I have to write it again!!! So here is some of what I remember writing. (I added in/took out some things.)

Today I have a fever, a small sore throat, and a cold. I still did school. It was a Fridays work anyway.

Science took forever! I had to read about nine pages! They were mostly pictures but there was some small print about copywrite that was very boring and seems to take forever if you would rather be doing something else.

Today I am better in the throat but still sore, and I am congested. I went on a field trip to watch Adi’s gymnastics. It was ok. We didn’t really do school today. I finished a math lesson and that is pretty much it. I played with Adi. I am going to youth group now. It is a ton of fun.

Yesterday we didn’t finish school. Today we are sick. I have a sore throat and had a fever and might still have one. I did some math but that was pretty much it. Math was very hard.

Today we had dentist appointments almost all morning and orthodontist appointments in the afternoon. It was pretty hectic. I didn’t get much school done at all, but tomorrow I am doing Fridays work so I can easily just do it, I hope. Math will present a bit of a problem, two lessons in one day? That’s just torture! But so would having to do it on a weekend, and who knows if it would get done otherwise? Other than God of course.

We read about Palm Sunday and Jesus and the fig tree. Jesus cursed the fig tree. Cursing is wrong, right. Reed said that maybe He was using it as a lesson, but did He have to curse it? I think it must have been Him admonishing the tree.
