Today my mom babysat some friends again. The morning was very productive considering.We went on a field trip to the library, and I was almost done already checked out and stuff and Adi was just starting to look at books. I’m glad that I found everything easily, and I got some extra reading time in too.

I was “taught how to subtract again.” It’s not bad, at least it’s not to hard, plus it makes school go much quicker. Math was done in a flash because of that, so the morning went pretty smoothly altogether.

I looked up a letter the main character wrote in the book I’m reading and I had to check if it had all the parts of a good letter. The person forgot to sign the letter. The part of a good letter are heading, greeting, body, signature.

In Bible today we read about the parable of the seeds sown on the road. Later when all his followers asked him about it I did not realize that it was not only his 12 disciples but all of his other followers too. We also did a Bible Highway in The Children’s Bible Field Guide. We read 5 poems today. They were about being things in different months. We learned about the Law of Use and Disuse. It is the theory that if you don’t use a body part then your offspring will not have that body part. A man disproved it by cutting off 20 generations of mice’s tails. Their children still had tails.

Joshua was a General. In ancient times copper was mined by hand. Darwin thought whales came from bears.

Today is the first day of week two, wow time is passing so quickly. I am having a eaisier time in handwriting. And math is still the same, at least I’m doing simple addition now. All the numbers have zeros in them, it is so easy.

I had to circle all the synonams in wordly wise, it was actully sort of fun. It was easy and didn’t take a long time. I’m glad I didn’t have to do critical thinking today, it is really really hard. And I  don’t like it a lot. I wish that it didn’t exist, but sadly it still does.

Today I started school early because we have some guests over tonight and we are going (maybe) to a hot dog stand called the Wienermobile that is shaped like a hot dog. We started a new book called 12,000 Years of World History. In it we learned about Chatul Huyuk. It was the largest town of early ancient history. We read two poems today. Another new book we started was called The Trojan War. It is a somewhat non-fiction (mostly fiction) book about the Trojan War. Another new book we started is Cool Stuff 2.0. We learned about smoke detectors and a crazy fancy new toilet. A smoke detector is 85 decibels.

In the third chapter of Mark the Pharisees are already trying to kill Jesus. When Jesus was healing everyone his family tried to get him because they thought he went crazy.

Marie’s Free Food

Marie’s is having a officers eat lunch free event on Tuesdays. The customers are buying the lunches for them. After all the shootings people wanted to show that they appreciate police, and the police are coming by the dozens because they consider it a safe place to go and be sure that it is okay to eat and not have to worried about poison. It is a great event and it really honors the police officers, I hope it lasts a long time.

We did a science experiment about cohesion today. It was very fun, we put a drop each of water, soapy water, canola oil, and rubbing alcohol. Then we compared how tall they were, they were the tallest in this order water, canola oil, rubbing alcohol, and last of all soapy water.

I wrote a whole paragraph about being a gold nugget  in gold rush territory from the rough draft I made yesterday. It was fun but took a while. I ended up as a gold leaf on the queens neckless. My whole family lives on the neckless with me, and we are a very close family.

In Bible we read about the paralytic being let down through the ceiling. I also learned about that David did not take the consecrated bread the priest shared it with him. In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we looked up the same verses in different Bible versions. I looked up the verses in the KJV and Vella looked up the verses in the NCV. We read four more poems today. They were mostly about wishing you could be something else. We did a Science experiment today. It was about cohesion. Cohesion is the attraction between like molecules it also known as a liquids skin. We took water, soapy water, canola oil and cleaning alcohol. We were supposed to use corn oil instead of canola oil but we didn’t have it so the experiment came out slightly wrong. We put a drop of each liquid on wax paper then compared the heights. Then we put 50 drops of each and recorded the the ml amount. The water was supposed to have more ml than anything else but the canola oil had more. I got 22% on my Korean writing quiz.

The Nile Delta is called that because it is shaped like the Greek letter Delta, a triangle.

Today we watched some friends for the morning so I didn’t get much done. One was a cute little baby and I got to hold him some.

In binder work I had to write a little story in the point of view of a gold nugget during the California gold rush. I am reading a book about a boy who runs away to California to join the gold rush with his butler. It is the book I am reading for school right now and it’s very interesting.

Handwriting is getting a little bit easier. I only have to write half a page of handwriting a day but combied with everything else and I haven’t been doing about one half an hour of writing a day sense school got out last year my hand cramps.
