In Bible Absalom had taken over and was trying to kill David. In history we learned about Sir Walter Raleigh and his expeditions. Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth “The Virgin Queen”. We read 13 long poems some about leaves. In science we did another overview of ecosystems, habitats, foods webs, food chains and pollution. Also the world population and the soil.

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?

We are behind in school and we want to be done with it, so Mom has started to just read a lot of our History and science so that we can finish sooner. We read a lot of poems!!! Mom is going to our Great Grandpa’s funeral and memorial service two weeks from now, so we are going to take that week off.
In bible we read about David. We read the story about the rich man who took the only sheep the poor man had. I’ve heard versions of this story, but I don’t remember it being about David!!! I’ve always known it as King George and the Ducky.

I also got some school done this week. I only have two lessons left in math!! I am almost done with Wordly Wise and I have a ton of Critical Thinking left. I can’t wait till 7th grade, but I’m sure I can last until after summer.

Today Reed was better so we did history. The power went out for 15 minutes this morning, those fixing crews sure work fast. In history we learned that the French civil war was started by people and leaders fighting over religion. Again making it a law that you have to be one religion is horrible.
In science we learned about weather prediction. Most of our weather prediction is from satellites and radar. We saw a cool picture of a hurricane from above. Did you know photosynthesis means building with light?
Fanning Fans!!!
by Vwala •
Did you know there were fan collectors? Well there was a fan convention on Friday, June 2nd. Though not very well known by non fan fans it is a big hit with collectors. Pig Pickin’ named after the tradition of roasting a pig at the annual event is like a reunion for fan collectors. Some of whom have been coming the entire 20 years it has been around. From the non fan collectors who inherited a fan collection from their son, to the old timers everyone is welcome. So that’s the fan fans news for ya.’

Today Reed was sick again. So I didn’t do history, science, bible, read-aloud, or math today so let’s see if I can find something to write about, eh. I wrote a letter to Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout, asking her to please take the garbage out and I think it’s pretty funny if I say so myself. In fact mom thought it was funny too. I like writing friendly letters, I will try to use my new knowledge when I am writing to my pen pals. I can’t wait to be done with school!!! I spent over an hour on a Critical thinking page and then at the end mom finally pointed out the answer, she said I really need to memorize my multiplication tables.

The Pulaski County Jail spent $3,200 for solid metal enclosures around the chain link fences in all of it’s outdoor recreation areas. The improvements were made to stop inmates from smuggling in drugs with outside help and communicating with taunting recently freed inmates and others.

Today Reed wan’t feeling well so I did history on my own and we didn’t do science, read aloud or bible.
I did the last quiz in math today so I am done with it for the year, other than summer math. I got an A+ too. I am glad I got an A+ I can’t wait to get my report card. I am glad we don’t do holding back in homeschooling, even though I don’t think I would get held back.
In English I did the pre-writing for a persuasive letter. It is really interesting and I think I will have a lot of fun writing a persuasive letter to “Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout” convincing her to “please take the garbage out.”
