Today we were suppost to go to the musiem of discovery, but because Reed was feeling sick we didn’t get to go and instead we decided to go on sunday and postpone a puppet show that I had planed and it is probubly going to be very werth it because dad gets to go with us, and I still get to do the puppet show later that day.

In school today I didn’t have much to do, I did a bit of reading (about indians) and it was fun but took a long time. It was mostly about they’re homes and how it’s changed from tippis to log houses.

In current events I had to write my report and I am going to type that up after I finish this journal. My report was about china changing how much the yuan (they’re currency) is worth.

Today I also did a bit of china, I had to quote a chinise person and explain what I thought they meant by that quote.

 

Today

Today I felt sick. I woke with gas and ran to the bathroom. I went back to bed. Then I got out of bed to eat breakfast and do school which I could not stay focused on. I tried to do school until lunch. I ate lunch and did most of what I could in school. I went up to my room to take a nap. I woke up and Pokemon battled myself a little bit (I was winning), sat up to long and laid back down. Mom came up and talked with me. Then I made a magic labyrinth course and ate dinner. Then I wrote this.

Today Reed and I had spelling at the same time. It was fun, Mom gave Reed two spelling words and then gave me one.

In the little bit of china that I did I had fun, I was making a time line of china and I wrote about china nowadays and they have made a lot of improvements like joining the world wide trade thingy, and making the three gorges dam.

In binder work I took a story I wrote earlier in the year and added a simile, shortened it, and improved the wording some. It was really hard but also fun and afterwards I felt accomplished.

Today science was realy fun we learned about IQ tests and how scientists know that your DNA controlls part of how smart you are. The way they proved that was twins seporated at birth got the same test scores. We had alot of fun doing the simple IQ tests they gave us it was so much fun and the questions for science were mostly easy and fun.

I finished this weeks math today, and it was ok, not very fun but what can I say, it’s math. I learned alot because it was about adding more than two numbers at the same time, like three.

In history I read alot about china nowadays, and did you now that in the early 2000 they’re were alot of presidents resining in china, and that china became a republic because the people wanted and fought for one?

We did Bible first today. We learned about Lanzhou it is covered in a haze of sand and pollution. It has a low literacy and a high poverty rate. The first written history of China was on bones during the Shang    dynasty. Two cultures, the Longshan and the Yangshao formed together to make China. Both the cultures were farmers. In Confucius’s time instead of his practices they used magic.

We learned about The dynasties of China.

I lost my vocabulary vine book and we have not gotten my book from the library, so I did not do those subjects.

Dendrites receive messages from other neuron’s axons. Axons give messages to other neurons dendrites. Your entire Nervous System is neurons.

After the chiropractor today we went to the fabric store and then we used our “buy 6 get 6 free” at DD. I ate two donuts  and got sick from the sugar.

We read a poem about a girl who disguised herself as a boy and went to school ( in China) who fell in love but he did not know she was a girl so did not fall in love. He killed himself, she jumped into his grave and they turned into stones who turned into rainbows.

This morning I didn’t get to do my morning routine because I played before school.

We read John 5. It was about Jesus choosing His disciples. In our poem book, which has been weird so far, we read an OK poem about the sun.

China is the largest country by population and third largest by size. I thought it was smaller by size. I thought it was fifth. China has such a big population there is almost no wildlife. The Yellow River is the siltiest river in the world. The Yangtze River was nicknamed “China’s Sorrow” because of it’s silt. Beijing has 25 in. rainfall.

Your stomach only releases a few spoonfuls at a time to your intestines.

We did a gross experiment where we chewed a cracker for five minutes and swallowed it. I half swallowed  it before five minutes and coughed it back up halfway down. Eventually Mom made me laugh and I spit it out. None of us actually did it.
