Here is a poem I wrote;
Till Christmas
By Vella Mae
Seven days till Christmas
no stockings are hung
no tree is up
the lights are on
like little stars
the nativity scene is out
most presents are wrapped
but my favorite things about
Christmas are reading of Christ’s birth
and giving presents to my friends and family
The cadence is 12 days of Christmas
I read some friendship Psalms and learned that being friends with God is like being friends with with.. well, God. I don’t know how else to describe it. I did this today on the 21st but I was supposed to do it on this week so I am putting it in this weeks journal, this will be true on some of the other things as well. I had to do a ton of science questions, it took a long long long time. I can’t wait to be done with school!!!!!!!! In Bible I had to search foolish and wise people and the difference between them is that the wise are better friends than fools, and fools don’t worship God, and they laugh at those who do.
Ballet Arkansas’s Nutcracker is back at the Robinson Center tor their annual Nutcracker performance. The Robinsom center was under construction last year bur now the revisions are completely finished. The enchanting ballet was performed nicely this week with five performances and two dress rehearsals making it a crazy week for performers in both casts, (trust me I know!!!) so that is the end of the beloved Nutcracker until next year!!!
I made a valentine for Israel from God. It was fun, I read Hosea 11 and 14 to get ideas for how to decorate it and then I wrote a couple verses on it, I used glitter glue, so it has to be awesome, right? I do not think I would of liked it under king Jeroboam’s rule but I would of liked it under Jehu’s rule, I think that was a lot of killing though. But God wanted it. I didn’t do any math today but I did do Lumosity.
I had to make a wisdom banner with a Psalm on it and post it on the blog, it says “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” I couldn’t find my current events to type it up so I don’t have that up yet, tomorrow is supposed to be the last day of school but I have about 35 things left to do and we are watching a movie tonight. The 35 things are liberal, I counted them.
My Banner
We are now on vacation but we are behind so we are catching up this week. I did one math lesson today. I didn’t do spanish and Lumosity and it is really the 21st right now but I am so behind I hadn’t written this journal yet. We were supposed to do some science saturday but we didn’t end up getting to it. It is crazy it is only six days till christmas, in real life it is only four but I am saying how many it would be for the day I am writing the journal for. I hope that made some sense to you because it was supposed to but I am not sure if it did and my mind is much faster than my fingers so I might have subconciously cut out words so my brain wouldn’t be quite so far ahead. I now realize that I have said a ton but all I have told you about the nineteenth is that I am doing catch up work, I didn’t do Lumosity, which I just realized you don’t know what is (it is a website with games to train your mind, it is really fun), and I did math, so math took a long time, I did Bible, I did a Bible study for school with my dad, and it is pretty cold here for AR.
Today I pretty much just did last weeks school, I wrote a biography and made a timeline about my grandma. It took and hour to do the timeline and I also had to do the biography, I was supposed to interview her, write it, and do the time line in three days plus all my other school, now I am way behind and I still haven’t finished last weeks school!!! And the computer broke so I couldn’t do math, so all I did today was write a biography, and make a timeline about my grandma, some current events, and write a poem sort of like the types in psalms, I haven’t even started this weeks school yet!!! Here is the poem:
My family is great
they don’t get mad
when I burn the chocolate cake
they love me so sweetly
but sometimes they’re crazy
but I love them so
my family is great
A wall painting by Sol Lewitt was installed at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Benton. It is called Loopy Doopy, and it has been said it makes you dizzy if viewed at a close range. It is a a great spot next to a bunch of windows so that it can be seen from their restaurant and or walk right next to it in a tunnel. It was interesting to install, and it is only contracted to stay there for a few years. So that’s Loopy Doopy for you.
In science we learned about our body systems, and one of those is the digestive system. Did you know that our small intestines are about four times our body length, that is really long!!! No wonder it takes three days to digest something! We learned this equation, glucose + oxygen + carbon dioxide + energy, I think they might have made some typos, because I copied it from the book it still doesn’t make sense to me. If you understand it please comment.
Did you know that Agustus Ceasar was ruling when Mary had Jesus? H is the one who called the cencus. And the angels came up with the saying peace on earth goodwill to men. We learned about the beginning of christianity according to our history book, it wasn’t too bad, it was mostly correct and didn’t put it down that much. Have you hear of the Labarum? It is a christian symbol, I copied the picture of it that was in the book and that is part of the picture I’m putting at the bottom of the page.
Adult usually have 206 bones in their bodies, a hand and wrist together have 27, and a foot has 26. Synthesia is a disease that make your senses get mixed up, like you might think green tastes like an apple, or pasta sounds like a flute, or air feels like green.
We are learning about David and Solomon. David was a good, God fearing king, but he still made mistakes. But he was quick to admit his sin and God forgave him. Under David they had 10 times as much land as they had under the Judges. Solomon was wise, but he didn’t use his wisdom sometimes.
I like Octarain/Agustus better than his adopted father Caesar. He wasn’t power hungry like him, and he was willing to step down.
We learned about microbes in science today, we are mainly learning about Protists. Did you know that viruses are strands of DNA or RNA? And scientists debate whether they are alive or not because they don’t reproduce by themselfs and other such things.
