In History we learned about India. No one knows how the Indus Valley civilization ended. The Indus River flooded every year. The Amorites were able to take over Sumer. We read eight poems about random things. In Science we learned about bioplastic, hydroponics, supermarket technology and dry shampoo. Bioplastic is biodegradable.hydroponics is growing plants in nutrient rich water so you don’t need soil. Dry shampoo sticks to dirt so you can comb it off because it is big enough with the shampoo stuck too it. In our experiment we timed how long it took our four liquids to slide down some wax paper taped to a jar at an angle. I had to write a peace treaty with at least five articles but I could not think of one so Mom let me write a constitution instead. I also had to write a poem, I tested out my theory that if yo close your eyes, open a dictionary and point to a random word it will make just as much sense as a regular poem. It worked!

All I did yesterday was Math and Spelling because we were packing for a trip to New York. In Math I did more on negatives.

We started early today and did extra Bible. We learned about Assyria and Gilgamesh who is an ancient mythical king who had all the power in the world. We read 4 poems about babies. In Science we learned about similarities in animals and how it can be deceiving about if animals are related. In Math I learned about negatives.

We have only Grant over today because Timothy is sick. Because I worked ahead today it is only 11:00. In Bible we read about Jesus walking on water. In The History of the World we read about Hammurabi. He made the first set of rules everyone from kings to peasants had to follow. We read 4 poems about children helping their dads, a dad falling into a pond and a dad talking about his toddler. We calculated the likely hood of a hyena mutating into a whale. It is 1 to 364 followed by 1,625 zeros.

The Hittites introduced horses to Europe from China.

In Bible we read about Jesus feeding the 5,000. In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we reviewed creation. They say the first three days were preparation and the last three days were decoration. In The History of the World we learned about Joseph they thought when Joseph got his coat Benjamin was already born. We read two poems, they were about parents telling stories. In Science we read about scientists thinking whales came from various land animals from bears to deer. In Math I learned about the rate of change. The other Math I did today was a test. I did extra school because we have the Ferris’s over tomorrow again.
