Bamako is the capital of Mali, Mali used to be a great empire. It means crocodile pool. 1,708,000 people live there. There is lots of poverty there. After the Mali Empire declined, Mali became one of the poorest countries ing the world.

Science was about how to use the sun and stars to help you find your way. I can now use the big dipper and southern cross to find my way at night and a stick, two rocks, plus about 15 min. to make a compose.

We read an awful poem about clothes hangers. I really didn’t like it.

Conakry is in Guinea. Conakry doesn’t mean anything. 1,645,000 people live there, there’s lots of poverty there. It is on an island.

I learned about possessive and singular nouns. And how to know wether to add s, ‘s, or s’. It was a confusing until my mom helped me. It was easy after that.

We started a new read aloud today. It seems different, I don’t know if I’m going to like it. The things in the story happen in Africa.

Today Mom gave us a choice of doing a Journal today without notes to see if we could retain the knowledge. I chose to and Vella did not. In Bible we read about the punishment of the Gentiles. In Science we learned about compasses and maps. Our historic Read Aloud is about a missionary to Arica named Mary Slessor. Today in our reading she got Malaria and has to go back to Scotland to recuperate.

What’s with weigh stations

by  • 

Some truckers are suspected to be avoiding weigh stations, because they are bypassing exceptional weights. Arkansas has made a virtual weigh station to help fix this problem. The money came from a grant that the federal motor carriers safety administration gave them. The federal highway administration praised the technology of it saying it has “the potential to fundamentally change the way truck size and weight standards and regulations are enforced in the United states.” I f all goes well they are hoping to install it in 1-1/2 months.
