Today a friend came over. I had fun today, I got a lot done.
I did a lot of science questions. I did a lot of current events and some spelling. I read a lot of my book, and mom didn’t feel good.
I wrote this awesome poem about dance today, it’s a freestyle poem. I think I am pretty good at free style poems science they have no rules.
Today we went on a hike after school and it was fun. We explored a new hiking place and went to the scout shop before hand.
We read a poem about pebbles today.
People think people have probably lived on the Korean peninsula for 30,000 years. Before the 1900’s almost all Koreans were farmers. In North Korea they require men to be in the army 5-10 years, the Navy 5-7 and the Air Force 3-4 years. Which one would you choose? The Japanese were the ones who made Koreans have an industrious country. There is a 487 square mile neutral zone between the Koreas. The longest river in South Korea is the Yalu which is 490 miles long. North Korea had almost a constant drought through the seventies.
The Koreas have had small scale wars since The Korean War. North Korea has one of the largest armies in the world and South Korea has one of the richest economies in the world. South Korea has nine provinces.
You can tell if adjectives are equal by switching them to see if they make sense. If they do they are equal.
Muscles cannot push, only pull.
I do not have my book for reading it is at the library so I did not read.
I have been behind in school now for a longish time and writing this Journal catches me up!!!
At the last supper Jesus told His disciples that He would not talk to them much anymore.
Next in our Case for the Creator book I think we are going to look at DNA. If Earth were one inch from were we now we would all die. The chances for life to be possible on Earth is one to a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion!
We read about Shanghai today, it has 13 million people. We also learned about Wanghou, it means “names of three cities combined”.
John Moore, a Navy veteran, climbed through the old submarines hatch. It was the 70th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in WWII. He cranked up the up the radio and said “C-Q, C-Q, C-Q, C-Q,” (which means “I seek you.”) Mr. Moore was finding people to tell the story of the USS Razorback.
It was launched in WWII and fought some of the Japanese Navy at Pearl Harbor, then it went over to the East China Sea and was present at Tokyo Bay for Japan’s surrender along with the other 11 submarines that survived fighting the Japanese from the starting 64.
note-Now the submarine is in North Little Rock in the Arkansas River as tourist destination.
Today is Sunday and I did not get much done because in the after noon we tried to go on a hike but Adi would not go. In the morning I could not stay focused because I only had nine hard things to do and nine things to do. I got seven of them done (including this journal).
Today we read a ton of read alouds. It was very fun. It was sort of hard. We had a lot stuff to read. We are now two days ahead in read alouds. We are going to watch a friends baby Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
We finished our realy fun book today. I realy liked it, it was fun, it was about missanarys, and it was placed in china. It ended well and had good writing.
Science was sort of hard. We read a lot of it and I had to do some questions. The questions we’re pretty hard.
Tuesday through Thursday Zachary will be over (he is a baby we have to babysit) so I will not have many interesting things to write about because we aren’t doing Bible, History or Science. Mom had a stiff neck today and went to the doctor who said it was muscle spasms in her neck. Dad stayed home to watch us and Zach. I could not stay focused today. I do not know why.
I am supposed to use active sentences instead of passive ones, but I like passive sentences better.
Today I did 35 things which is a record. I finished up last week today and did 30 minutes of Scouts. I did two days of Spelling today.
I finally have my bible verse memorized.
When you are baby all your bones are cartilage and none of your bones are hard. As you grow up they all harden. Your collarbone is last to harden. There are four types of bones, long, flat, chunky and irregular. We have an experiment we aren’t going to do where we soak a bone in acid and tie it into a knot. In between your vertebrae are disks of liquids. They fill up at night while you lay down and shrink throughout the day while your weight is on it, so you are taller in the morning than in the evening. When you get old sometimes your spine curves to one side. Right handed people curve right and left handed people curve left.
There are some funny phobias like arachibutyrophobia-which is fear of peanut butter sticking to the top of your mouth and the worst is panphobia-fear of everything.
A hamster does trapeze, two rabbits reenact a scene from Romeo and Juliet, and a pig takes a bath by itself. Are we at the curcus? No we’re at the zoo.But this is no ordanary zoo. It’s the I.Q zoo in Hot springs AR. It is very cool, they train animals to do tricks. They researched what rewards for tricks worked best. They aculy said that chickens are one of the easiest things to train.
