Today I didn’t get much done because I stopped school early. We are having people over for diner today!

In science today we learned about ears and DNA, and we did four days of it. I got a bit confused during the ear part because one of our books gives a different name for these three bones in your ear than another one.

In binder work I learned about Pandas. It was pretty fun! I had a bit of trouble with finding the information though. Did you know that Pandas are considered omnivores?

FORGOTTEN NBA TEAM LOSING LAST MEMORIES

by  • 

The team was the third added to the NBA. The Sheboygan Red Skins were a poor team  team even before they joined. The players were underdeveloped. The stadium was small and cramped. One time a coach was kicked out and he had to sit on the step outside, it was too crowded for him to watch the game.

When the team went to New York to play the Knicks the Knicks’s manager realized he was playing a poor team from nowhere and announced if the Red Skins weren’t out of the league next year he would be. You can guess who stayed around.

Now the only things left of the team are one old player and the stadium which will be demolished next year.

Today I didn’t get much school done partly because we went to the Chiropractor and the store this morning, also because I spent a lot of time helping mom with our dessert for tomarow when we have people over for diner, and also partly because I’ve been trying to get this thing that I need to work to do part of my school to work and it took a bunch of time but it still didn’t work.

In binder work I had to choose a animal to learn about and I chose Pandas. I chose Pandas because they are my second favorite animal and they’re endangered.

I did two days of spelling today. I am behind in spelling and it was good to do two because it helped me catch up. I got a B in one and a A in the other one.

We read some super duper weird folk tales about Russia!!!

We read about Ashgabat in 100 Gateway Cities. It is in Turmenistan. It is the City of Love. People think Paris is the City of Love, but it is the City of Lights. People think Las Vegas is the City of Lights, but it is the City of to many Gambling Machines. (Not really.) Ashgabat has population of 892,000. After an earthquake hit it the city only had 12 buildings standing.
