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 Reed was sick again. So I didn’t do history, science, bible, read-aloud, or math today so let’s see if I can find something to write about, eh. I wrote a  letter to Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout, asking her to please take the garbage out and I think it’s pretty funny if I say so myself. In fact mom thought it was funny too. I like writing friendly letters, I will try to use my new knowledge when I am writing to my pen pals. I can’t wait to be done with school!!! I spent over an hour on a Critical thinking page and then at the end mom finally pointed out the answer, she said I really need to memorize my multiplication tables.

Today Reed wan’t feeling well so I did history on my own and we didn’t do science, read aloud or bible.

I did the last quiz in math today so I am done with it for the year, other than summer math. I got an A+ too. I am glad I got an A+ I can’t wait to get my report card. I am glad we don’t do holding back in homeschooling, even though I don’t think I would get held back.

In English I did the pre-writing for a persuasive letter. It is really interesting and I think I will have a lot of fun writing a persuasive letter to “Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout” convincing her to “please take the garbage out.”

We learned a bit about Shakespeare in history. We heard a summery of one of his plays, it was horrible. We didn’t learn anything about the suspicions that Shakespeare didn’t actually write his own plays.

I think if Paul gave me some advise it would be to stand strong in the Lord, not be afraid, and to remember God is on my side. If I had to choose one body part it would be probably the heart or the head, ’cause without those where would you be?

In science we learned about extreme weather. We learned about everything from ice to heat stroke. Did you know that the sun causes wrinkles? I didn’t, isn’t that so interesting!

It is summer and yes we are still doing school but it is only until we finish and we only have three more full weeks. I can’t wait till we’re done, also after summer I think 7th grade will be fun.

We learned about Bloody Mary and her sister Good Queen Bess in history. Forcing religion is a horrible way to rule.

I answered the questions for pre-writing a book review. I learned about adverbs, I get all the adverbs, pronouns and adjectives, ect, all mixed up.

I think Paul was willing to suffer all that hardship because he loved God so much and he wanted to serve Him.

We fogged the house and we have already found over 20 fleas!!! How can it be??? and it was garenteed… however you spell that, but any way it was and we are going to go get our money back. We got Lava today and we have already found a flea even though he got a flea bath today, and with-in the first two hours!!! We learned about the renesaunce in history today, it happened all because of armies and books, not usually a good combination, espesialy for the books. I got an A+ in my math quiz!!!

When Mom and Dad went on the cruise Lava went with Adi and I to stay with some friends who live in the country, Lava got fleas there. We got a flea collar and thought we had them under control, then the dogs came. They made it 10x worse and spread them all over the house. Now we all have them. Yes, I have fleas crawling around on me right now, biting me and driving me crazy. A sling and fleas, perrrrrfect combanation. That was not a pun, it was sarcastic. Buuut, back to the point, we are going to take the pets to boarding places where they will get treatment, and board while we fog the house and go camping. Then we will come back, vacuum and steam clean the carpets. Sooooooo, those are our plans for the weekend. I didn’t get much school done today, because as previously mentioned I have been-let’s say… preoccupied?

I am very very very behind. I have a little less than a week of school to do. I’m still not done with Tuesdays school, oh yeah, of last week. School is like a pit that’s being dug, I am trying to fill it up, but for every shovel-full of dirt I put in, three more get shoveled out. So that’s been my day, shoveling dirt. Oh and also we went to the library and I got my summer reading!!! I can’t wait to start them, If I ever fill the hole until tomorrow I am staring them early!!! Also I listened to this really great song you should listen to, it’s called “Hills and Valleys.”

Homeschool Journal 5/10/17

We read about some awful battles over who would be king in Bible. Disgusting, I don’t like how many battles there are. Or battles in general. In history we learned about Martin Luther. He was a very very good person. I like his list, and I am glad I don’t believe the way he used to. We read some okish poems.

Homeschool Journal 5/9/17

We learned about the taking over of America. Most of the people died because of the other countries greed. They died of sickness that they brought as well as war. We read about wind in science. Air is always moving, it never stops. So I think that makes all air wind, or is there another difference between the two that I don’t know about. If there is and you know about it please comment. I finished math really early today.

Today we watched some little kids, one of them is rough so I went up to my room. I have been reading Brucko, I think everybody should read it, it is a little hard to read but it shows that we aren’t the only ones fighting God’s will, and what can happen if we give up fighting and . If this book doesn’t awaken a want to serve Him in you, then nothing will. It inspired a song and I will post the chorus soon, so keep an eye out for Stop Fighting by Vella Karman.
