Friday was passover so I didn’t do school on Friday because we had to get ready. I did extra on Thursday, and more on Saturday.
Science was about bioweapons. The questions were really hard, and one of them was about what we think should be done about gene science so that bioweapons aren’t created.
The states grades have been lowered. The A and B schools have become less. But why? hey say It is because of the change in tests. But I also happened to know that in the past few years homeschoolers have stopped taking the tests in the past few years. And some of the people I know think that is the reason for the lower grades. But who knows? Please post your opinion in the comments, thanks for reading.

In Ecuador there was a 7.8 rector scale earthquake. It has killed at least 506 people. It has injured 2,500. 24 hours after the quake looting broke out but the arrival of police and soldiers subsided that. More people were in the impact zone of the earthquake than usual because coastal towns were evacuated because of tsunamis.
Today we read about gluten and I learned what enriched wheat is. It is wheat with the nutrients put back in it after it lost its nutrient while it was boing milled. We read our health book and it took a bit longer than usual; to answer the questions.
LA was easy today. All I had to do was copy the stuff I already wrote onto the space I was supposed to have written it in. It was super duper fun to write and I hope someday once I finnish the book I can get it published.
In Science we learned that wheat does not naturally contain gluten but when liquid is added to wheat the proteins in wheat form gluten.In Bible we learned that you should test spirits. Any spirit who says Jesus Christ is Lord is from God and any who does not is not from God.
Today I had to look at a picture and pretend that it was the picture on the cover of a book. Then I had to tell them what I wanted the title to be, the name’s of the characters, and the basic plot line. Tomorrow I was supposed to write what it says on the back cover but I did it today as extra. Now I am planning on writing the whole book.
For word study I had to look up a couple of words in the dictionary. It took a way longer time than usual, and it wasn’t very fun but it was ok.
Today in Bible we read about the children of God loving one another. In Case for Faith we learned about doubts being weights for faith. In 100 Gateway Cities we learned about Kano. It is the second largest city in Nigeria. It has 3,393,000 people. 78% of those people are Muslim. 13% are Christian. In The History of Medicine we learned about the discovery of germs.
Niamey is in Niger. We don’t know what Niamey means, 1,027,000 people live there. They have some poverty in Niamey.
We learned about water for Sudan today. It is cool. We read a book based on the founders life, and he helped someone write it. It was hard to read at times because the founder was alive during the civil war in Sudan, but I loved it. Later we visited their website, and heard one of the workers stories.
Yesterday we started 1 John.
In 100 Gateway Cities we learned about Niamey. It is the capitol of Niger. It has 1,027,000 people. 91.4% of those people are Muslim. In the History of Medicine we learned about the guy who proved Galen wrong on how the blood pumps and the purpose of the heart.
We started 1st John today. It is going to be interesting, John feels pretty strongly about other religions. He is attacking one head on right from the very first sentence in this book.
Cotonou is in Benin. We don’t know what that means.841,000 people live in Cotonou.
We read some really weird poems today. One was about lily pads, and the other one was about giraffes. In the lily pad one they described waterlilies as white dots and lily pads as beautiful things.
