Homeschool Journal 9/18/17

In Algebra 1 I had a test about inequalities. In History we learned about the fall of the Mogul emperors and the start of the Dutch East India Company. For my Science experiment I needed empty soda cans but on our diet we can’t have any so we gave some to our neighbors to get the cans. In Bible was Jesus arrested, Peter’s denial and the woman with the alabaster box of perfume. Jesus said she would be told about wherever the gospel was preached when people criticized her. Over the weekend I read the rest of Genesis and three chapters of Exodus.

Today we are doing a Mondays work on a  Fridays schedule. I know that seems confusing, and trust me it is. (I keep on thinking it is an actual Monday and then I think well it was Friday yesterday and yesterday I was thinking that if we could skip work that day we could be on the right day then… Today is a Friday!) It is getting me all mixed up! We went on a field trip and saw dad at lunch and then went to the store.

Today I started a brand new reader. It is called homesick and it is the Fictionalized story of Jean Fritz, written, by Jean Fritz, and fictionalized, by Danny Gofer… Just kidding, it was fictionalized by Jean Fritz too. I don’t think I quite like it. It is not… Well… Something that I would read otherwise… Like… It would be a book that I pick up at the library and less than halfway through realize that, as a Christian I shouldn’t read this. Seriously, I am sort of concerned.

I feel better today and I think everyone else does too. We are going to meet Dad at his work at lunch today. In Algebra 1 I learned about systems of two variable inequalities. They skipped teaching me how to do it without the graph like they usually do and went right to it. In The BBC Manual we read about tools for memorization and meditation and how to use Strong’s Bible Concordance. In the real Bible Jesus talked about the end of the world and it sounded like Revelation. We have not done The Ghost of Tokaido Inn yet and we do not have poems. Yesterday I read the rest of Genesis 5 I had not read. I also read How to Betray a Dragon’s Hero, the eleventh and second to last book in the How to Train Your Dragon series.

I wrote a journal for this day. But it has apparently been erased! I don’t think it will be fair if I have to write it again!!! So here is some of what I remember writing. (I added in/took out some things.)

Today I have a fever, a small sore throat, and a cold. I still did school. It was a Fridays work anyway.

Science took forever! I had to read about nine pages! They were mostly pictures but there was some small print about copywrite that was very boring and seems to take forever if you would rather be doing something else.

Today we still all feel bad but yesterday we finished the day’s work that we worked on for three days so we started a new day but I had already done most of it so all I had today was to finish Algebra 1 (only had to do 5 questions today), finish typing my Current Events (I had done one and half of three yesterday so I had the same today), take my Bible Memory test, finish writing my English assignment, take a test for Module 2 in Science and write this. We still have to do The Ghost of Tokaido Inn. Yesterday I finished Mark Twain A Reader and started The Bible (NIV translation) and How to Betray A Dragon’s Hero.

Today I am better in the throat but still sore, and I am congested. I went on a field trip to watch Adi’s gymnastics. It was ok. We didn’t really do school today. I finished a math lesson and that is pretty much it. I played with Adi. I am going to youth group now. It is a ton of fun.

Yesterday we got very little school done and today people are still feeling poorly so we are still doing Monday’s work but I am working a little bit ahead and Mom forgot we were doing that so we did what was going to be yesterday’s but is now tomorrow’s and we are doing some of it today’s History and Bible. I read less than a chapter of Mark Twain A Reader today.

Today all of us are sick or have a weird injury except Dad so we are only doing what was left of yesterday’s school. Vella has a sore throat, Adi feels weird, Mom has a really bad crick in her neck so she can’t move it and am still sick from last night at Boy Scouts. We already did all of our together stuff (when I say together stuff I mean subjects like Bible, History and Poems that Mom reads aloud and all of us need to do together and when I say alone stuff I mean all the rest of the stuff which is kind of like what other people call homework) yesterday we didn’t have any today. I also did Algebra 1 yesterday. Today I only did Current Events, Bible Memory, Bible Reading, Spanish and some Reading and had to take a lot of breaks because I felt sick. Today I finished The Warden and the Wolf King and continued Mark Twain A Reader which is a collection of Mark Twain’s shorter works and excerpts from his longer and less popular works.

In the real Bible we read about Palm Sunday, Jesus being mad at the moneylenders and livestock sellers at the temple and Jesus cursing the fig tree. In But Don’t All Religions Lead to God? we learned about different religions beliefs about death. In history we learned about how Japan denied any ships to leave or come to it. There was a time during the beginning of that that they allowed travel to Korea. In poems we started reading some by Samuel Coleridge. The one we read was about a river I think. We did not get very much alone stuff done today because we went to the dentist in the morning, the orthodontist in the afternoon and Boy Scouts in the evening. Dad was surprised we got any done. I got sick in the afternoon and way worse at scouts because this month’s Scout Skill theme was personal fitness and we did a troop mile run. I finished Algebra 1 about two variable inequalities, Korean and started my Module 2 summary in science. I did not do the rest and have to do that tomorrow. Over the weekend I finished The Emperor’s Code, The Monster in the Hollows, The Frozen Menace, Darkness of Dragons and started Storm Warning and started The Warden and the Wolf King. The Emperor’s Code is Book 8 in The 39 Clues. The Monster in the Hollows is the third book in Wingfeather Saga. The Frozen Menace is the eleventh and last book in the Dragonbreath series. Darkness of Dragons is tenth and last written book in the Wings of Fire series. Storm Warning is Book 9 of The 39 Clues. The Warden and the Wolf King is the fourth and last book of The Wingfeather Saga.

Yesterday we didn’t finish school. Today we are sick. I have a sore throat and had a fever and might still have one. I did some math but that was pretty much it. Math was very hard.
