In Bible we read about after The Sermon on the Mount the same day when Jesus told a bunch of parables in a boat and explained them to his disciples privately. I did almost two lessons in Algebra 1 today. In history we learned about early non-native settlers in America, particularly South America. The Spanish got 500,000,000,000 dollars of gold and silver from South America. We went out today from 10:30 to 11:45 to go to the orthodontist to get my wire cut. They were really closed but they are open for cutting wires that really hurt sometimes. After that we went to the dollar store and got a bunch of things. Adi got Starbursts and Mom got a lot jump ropes. Because of that I did not get to much English done yet and will do less even though that is what I am doing after this. I also did not clean my room at all yet. In Science I could not find my vocabulary words and had to copy them out of Mom’s binder because they did not label them.Yesterday on Lynda.com I completed 2% of a Windows 10 Training course. Today I did 7% more. We did not have poems today. Yesterday I finished Your Smarter Than You Think, William Wrigley Jr.: Wrigley’s Chewing Gum Founder and started The Big Book of Spy Stuff. Today I continued The Big Book of Spy Stuff but did not finish. After writing this and doing English I will clean my room. In reference to yesterday you need 60 cards to make a Pokemon Card Game deck. Before my friend did not have that many.

Today I worked very fast to go to see some friends at 1:30. We played tag in a gym while their mom worked out. My friend that was part of the family we met compiled a deck for the Pokemon card game whereas before he did not have enough cards. Now we are going to do History and Bible every day. In The BBC Manual we learned about the impact of the Bible in History and the modern world. In the real Bible we read the next part of The Sermon on the Mount. Mom wants us to memorize The Lord’s Prayer for extra memorization also there is a poster from The BBC Manual that has over 50 references that if we memorize all of them something might happen. We started our poem book today and only read one, All the World’s a Stage. In Science I did not have an experiment and it turns out I will not have one most days. I did have to watch a video and answer some questions which I did not do yesterday. Yesterday I got vocabulary words and definitions that I have to memorize and I will get a lot I finished everything except this on time today. In Algebra 1 I did almost two whole lessons when I was required to do a little less than one. I read a lot more of my book yesterday and some today and am on the last chapter. I have finished organizing one of my bookshelves during lunch today. Adi and Mom made more cupcakes before lunch for Adi’s school. After writing this I will probably read the rest of my book.

Yay, second day!!! We read one of Shakespeare’s poems, it was a bit weird. I interveiwed myself for English, it was fun and sort of cool.
It is amazing how much the Bible has went through, people have tried to destroy it and it has prevailed, and it has also been quoted, made into songs, read, and translated into more languages than any other book. It would have died out by now if it wasn’t God’s Word. Even non-christians know The Lord’s Prayer, and admit that it is powerful. If you took any mention of the Bible and disputes about the Bible ect ect out of history you would take out half of the great leaders of this world and half of history itself. Isn’t it amazing how the Bible was written by different people, in different countries, in different languages and yet it still portrays the same concept? That shows that the Bible was actually written by God. Isn’t it also cool that the Bible is a book for anybody, with any job, at any age, in any country, and at any stage of life? The Bible is the only book like that.
In history we learned about the start of the “Holy Roman Empire” the first king was a christian!!! So it spread christianity!!!!! (Years later) Charles got 3 kingdoms when he was still a teenager! He was a greedy, liar and he gave half his kingdom to his son, and half to his brother, which is probably going to lead to a power struggle.

We read the Introduction to Story of the World Volume 3: Early Modern Times. It contained two poems. We continued 12,000 Years of World History with an overview of the years 1500-2000. In Algebra 1 I started at Practice C and went to most of the way through the next lecture. We finished history is 30 minutes and did Bible the rest of the time. We were not scheduled to do Bible today. For Bible we read the Introduction the The BBC Manual BBC meaning Bedroom Bible College. In the actual Bible we read the Sermon on the Mount. For Read Alouds we started A Murder For Her Majesty. I did not finish Reading were I started The King’s Fifth about a law is Spain that required a fifth for tax on valuable metals. The only person left alive with knowledge about some buried treasure, a young cartographer, is put on trial for not revealing the location. I also did not finish my Science where I started a very interactive Physical Science book. After writing this I will possibly help my sisters make the cake for the first day of school celebration for Adi. After that or if I do not do that I will finish my reading for today. Then finish my science experiment of which I will have one every day this year. Then work on some more Algebra 1, English and last year’s science experiments that we did not finish yet. I am reading a book about Multiple Intelligence’s but have not read at all today.

Yes, yes it’s the first day of school again. Yay!!! 7th grade!!! I think 7th is better than 6th because I am not behind yet. In 7th grade you get a “school counselor,” so this morning I went and talked to her/mom about my schedule for this year. I personally think it is just a teeny bit crazy. This year I am going to have a yearbook which is going to be so much fun!!! It will be like a 7th grade scrapbook!!! We are making first day of school cupcakes in our school colors!!!
In English I started a notebook with all the things that I am learning about things like nouns, et cetera. So when I need to know something I can just look it up! LA was lots more work but a ton of fun today!
In history we read the introduction. Why do they even have one of those for a history book? But they did, and they started by telling us about the lay of the land. Also called where the 7 continents, and the oceans names. Where do they think we live, the bottom of the ocean? Outer space? They had some cool poems though. It is amazing how much the world has developed in the last 500 years!!!!! Just think about it, travel, medicine, governing, science, maps, electronics, why electronics wasn’t even a thing 500 years ago!!! We saw some really cool pictures of Anne Frank’s actual diary, the Hubble telescope, Henry Ford in a car, (I didn’t realize that Ford was somebody’s last name!) and a picture of JFK just minutes before he was shot. Current Events was sad with all the great things in the newspaper there are to write about.
In Bible we learned about bible junkies, the author, that God plants us in the right place, the Bible is a cleaning agent and God is the cleaning person, that you should document your insights, and that I might want to write a guide to God’s word. We read the Beatitudes. They said to go the extra mile in sharing too.
Put today on your calendar folks!!!!! In math I actually learned something, on the first day!!!!! I learned about Roman Numerals, I thought they stopped at X but they actually go on to do L,D, and M!!! I also wrote some of my answers with the cool tails!!!!!

If God sent me a message like He did the seven churches what do I think He would say? Wow, that’s a huge question which, like many others I do not have the privilege of knowing the answer too. But, I can at least make a guess. So… I think He would likely start with… Do not be afraid, you need not be afraid of the darkness for you are the light, be strong and courageous, for you are My ewe and I am your shepherd, follow My voice and you will be safe, you have good intentions, but the flesh is weak. Take courage, drop your earthly possessions and follow the ways of light.

We are going to start school on 8th of Aug. So we really need to finish last year stuff. On Wednesday we are going to drive to Dallas, drop mom off at the airport and then drive home. After that we get a week or so without dad going to work. It will be fun but we will do a lot of school too. Today I did a lot of critical thinking and I only have like five left!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to say goodbye to the algebra and logic!!!!! But, that is pretty much all I really got done. We didn’t do together stuff today because we have two books left and in alone stuff we have about two weeks. But, never the less we will prevail.

Today is free meal at chick-ful-a if you wear a cow costume day!!! So I wore black leggings, black shoes, a white shirt, a walmart bag with spots on it, and a cardboard EAT MOR CHIKIN sign and, Ta-Da.. I was all set for lunch.
We learned about scientists worries about overpopulation in science. But I personally think that if God din’t make death v.s. birth rates match up, He’s got a plan for that.
In history we learned that the queen of England gave English pirates permission to attach Spanish ships!!! How does that even work? Aren’t Kings and Queens supposed to be against them? And how did she even let them know? I don’t get how that worked, isn’t that against the law or something?
