I started early today because we watched a four year old and a one year old from 8:00 to 12:00. Most of the day my computer had to be on the charger so I had to be on my knees on a chair to reach it and be safe. We had to write John 3:16 backwards and with no vowels. Like the Israelites did. One of our History books think towns, settlements and cities came to be by nomads staying in the fertile crescent because it was the best place year round, the other thinks it was because people wanted to trade more efficiently. We read four more poems today. I did not like them but Vella did. They were about secret places places that no one should know about.

Today Math was a repeat Lesson. I Korean I learned compliments. I started school early today because we had to go to the dentist today for Mom’s appointment for about two hours.

Jesus only had four disciples at the point where he healed Peter’s mother-in-law. When he was healing people from demons he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was. In the Children’s Bible Field Guide we looked up a lot of verses and looked at verses that were prophesies and fulfillments of those prophesies. We also looked at verses in the prophets that showed that it was the Lord speaking through the prophets and not the prophets saying what they thought. We started a new book called The Kingdom Strikes Back. It is about the Bible. We read four more poems out of our poem book about places. There was another about John Drinkwater and one by the author of Winnie the Pooh. In Science we learned about people thinking spontaneous generation was true, like thinking that that if you put wheat in a jar with dirty underwear then a full grown mouse will come out a few weeks later.

We started reading Mark in Bible today. It is the shortest Gospel and the first written. Peter and Andrew were the first disciples. The Bible has been translated into over 2,000 languages. There are no vowels in Hebrew. When someone copied the Torah or Bible in ancient Israeli culture they would check the letter count of the original and of the one they wrote, then the word count then the middle letter of each word. The King James Bible was written in the same year as one of our Lamplighter books, The Hedge of Thorns. We started a new book called the Children’s Bible Field Guide. Another new book we started is called Favorite Poems old and new. We read four of the poems from it today they were all weird and about being yourself. One of them was by a man named John Drinkwater. Another one of our books is called the Story of the World. I read some of it last year. It is very interesting. In 1086 there was a book published that listed all the properties in England who owned them and how much they were worth it was called The Doomsday Book. Historia means investigation. In yet another new book Evolution: The Grand Expirement we learned that 48% of the population in the U.S. believe that the world was created in the last 10,000 years. In Lumosity my scores are:

This year I look forward to our many interesting History books. When I grow up I want to be an inventor.

All I did today was part of a Math Lesson.

Today all I did was a little Australia reading.

Today I learned about means, medians and modes in Math. I learned that Northern Australia has to seasons while Southern Australia has four.

Yes, it is finaly here, my last full day of school. If you call it full because it is only 10:30, but what can I say? I Finished. I still have math and spelling over the summer as well as a summer assignment of learning about Australia but still. I just have to finnish this and then type up my current event. I might burst with excitement any moment!!! Do you like my pool blue text? But don’t worry, I will still be doing journals during the summer so you haven’t gotten rid of me yet. Mwahahahaha!!!

Math was ok. I was supposed to be learning how to multiply fractions so that you can compare them but I didn’t finish reading how beacause I learned last year. I did 5th grade math last year, but I have to do it again this year because mom didn’t really have enough time to teach me what it meant because it confuses me so it is is hard to teach it to me, so I had to do it again this year.

I am going to make pavlova sometime soon. It is my choose your own adventure for New Zealand. I found a recipe online and figured out what I need to make it today and once we get what I need to make it I am going to make pavlova.
