We read about some really fierce warriors and there was a picture of them and they looked like tall toddlers still in diapers. I have written this journal 2 other times and my computer has deleted them. So that’s all that I remember

Eleanor Holmes Norton is a U.S. House of representatives delegate, from the district of Colombia. And she was also the first woman to place a chair in the U.S. Equal Employment Oppertunity Commision, plus she has been elected for congress 12 terms. And now Eleanor Holmes Norton has been awarded the Fred L. Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award.

In History we learned about the first cities, they were in Sumer which is in southern Mesopotamia. Nanna was their moon god. There was no stone or metal or strong wood in Sumer. In peacetime they had no leader. They only had leaders in war and they elected them. But then they were always at war and they decided to make a permanent leader and have him pass down his leadership to his son. We also learned about early European villages. Some of them had stone houses and furniture.

Ruth lived in the time of the Judges. In the last period of Ancient Egyptian history they did not use pyramids but buried them in underground tombs.

This morning I didn’t fell good so I didn’t get very much done. I felt better after lunch so I got most of school done, because I took yesterday off Mom took some things off so I managed to get all but one subject done. Thank you so much Mom!!!

In science we did a experiment. We dropped a milliliter of water on our pennies, they looked like a cross between a domed glass showcase and a magnifying glass. I put a bit extra and mine over flowed. Then we put a drop less than a milliliter on the penny (27 drops) and added one drop of soapy water, the soapy water breaks down the regular waters cohesion and the penny overflows. That was my prediction, now for the results: Try 1. overflowed before the soapy water, try 2. I put the water in the wrong place and it tipped over the side, try 3. I put everything in but the soapy water and reached over the penny to put the bowl with the water down and got the water all over my wrist, try 4. success, except my prediction was wrong. I had to put 2 drops of soapy water to get it to over flow. Now it doesn’t overflow, when I want it to. Silly water.

Today was Adi’s birthday, so I mostly took school off for the day. We went to the rocket park, witch is a playground shaped like a rocket. It is a ton of fun, on the way home we stopped at a gas station and got gas and some treats. I got a ice cream sandwich as big as my hand, and Reed and Adi got shlushies and air heads. Later mom and I went to a toy store to get a present for Adi, but they didn’t have the game mom was going to get for her. So we looked around and  found this fun little fishing game were you wind it up and it spins while the fishes mouths open and close, I had it when I was around her age and I loved it. Later we all went to the store to get stuff to make our own rock candy, I had been wanting to do this for months and Adi had just learned about sugar crystals and it seemed to be the perfect time. We also got Adi five ballons, one doc mikstuffins and the rest pink. We desided to make two orange flavored rock candys. For dinner we had homemade pizza and chocolate cake with kit cats frosted around the sides pudding on top of that and gummy worms then a layer of oreos and more gummy worms. She got a little stuffed animal mouse with a little braclet that I used as a collar and a little slinky she also got some games and $15.
