Today Mom went on a walk with her friend Miss Sue, and I watched Adi, it was pretty fun. We made things with my clay. I made a box that looks like a little cupcake. It is cute, I am going to give it to my cousin, Sabra Joy, she is coming Friday.
I made a journal as Josiah, I even made it look old. I wrote about finding the Bible in the temple, and that I want to make free schools.
It snowed today!!! Only a few inches but that is better than none! We had to do a bit of together school and then I got to play in the snow, we made slushies, and jumped on the trampoline with snow on it, I started to build a snowman but I didn’t finish it.
The US says ISIS is going broke. Counter-terrorism has been bombing their oil places and other things such as their oil tankers and such. Trying to make them go broke so they can’t pay the military. They believe they are succeeding, as ISIS has cut down the military’s pay by half. So maybe ISIS is to be defeated a bit easier in the near future.
Sadly I had to do school this weekend. I made a concept map about my cat toy, Rolly the self rolling ball of string, it took forever to make. Than I had to write out the steps I would have to take to actually make it, it would have a motion sensors that would make the yarn be rolled out and then be rolled back up again, that would really get the cats attention!!! I also wrote an essay the name of it is Why I Should Take Notes And Obey My Dear Ol’ Ma it is a very long name from my mom’s words, I think she will find my essay very amusing.
In Bible we learned about Jacob and Esau. We read two poems about Native Americans and the Pilgrims. In Science we learned about outer space gear.
Our cousins came to see us so we didn’t start school until after lunch. I had a ton of fun with my cousin, Sabra Joy. I wish they could of stayed longer!!! It only seemed like a half-hour even though it was actually two-and-a-half hours. This was the best Friday The Thirteenth Ever!!!
We read about Jacob and Esau in Bible, I wonder if Esau was really about to starve or if he was just an exaggerating.
We read more about the Byzantine empire. Justinian wanted to have a Christian empire, I didn’t know he was Christian. Did you? Monks seem to be really good artists and are very well educated, but I don’t think being a monk, a nun, or amish brings you closer to God at all, I think reading the Bible and praying brings you closer to Him.
We read poem about Pocahontas, and pilgrims. There are poems about almost everything!!! It was sort of funny that we read a poem about Pocahontas because I just got a book about her.
We read how king Arthur got the round table, it was a wedding gift from his father-in-law. I like our book about king Arthur, it is interesting but a little bit confusing. I wish we were done with school.
We read about finding a wife for Isaac, it is a story I have read many times before but it always strikes me with something different each time. This time, I wondered if the servant believed in God before that happened?
The intelligence community of the United States has claimed that Russian hackers hacked the presidential election Nov. 8 and that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered it. US President Barack Obama says that he did not underestimate Putin, just what a cyber-attack can do. It is thought that the attackers (if there were any) put the favor towards Donald Trump.
In Bible we learned about Rebekah. In History we learned about India in the Middle Ages. We read six poems about flowers.
In Science we learned about the physics principles such as speed, mass and such. We read seven poems about trees and flowers. In History we learned about the split between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. Before I thought that Roman Catholics were the only church before the Reformation.
