Homeschool Journal 8/14/17

Yes, yes it’s the first day of school again. Yay!!! 7th grade!!! I think 7th is better than 6th because I am not behind yet. In 7th grade you get a “school counselor,” so this morning I went and talked to her/mom about my schedule for this year. I personally think it is just a teeny bit crazy. This year I am going to have a yearbook which is going to be so much fun!!! It will be like a 7th grade scrapbook!!! We are making first day of school cupcakes in our school colors!!!

In English I started a notebook with all the things that I am learning about things like nouns, et cetera. So when I need to know something I can just look it up! LA was lots more work but a ton of fun today!

In history we read the introduction. Why do they even have one of those for a history book? But they did, and they started by telling us about the lay of the land. Also called where the 7 continents, and the oceans names. Where do they think we live, the bottom of the ocean? Outer space? They had some cool poems though. It is amazing how much the world has developed in the last 500 years!!!!! Just think about it, travel, medicine, governing, science, maps, electronics, why electronics wasn’t even a thing 500 years ago!!! We saw some really cool pictures of Anne Frank’s actual diary, the Hubble telescope, Henry Ford in a car, (I didn’t realize that Ford was somebody’s last name!) and a picture of JFK just minutes before he was shot. Current Events was sad with all the great things in the newspaper there are to write about.

In Bible we learned about bible junkies, the author, that God plants us in the right place, the Bible is a cleaning agent and God is the cleaning person, that you should document your insights, and that I might want to write a guide to God’s word. We read the Beatitudes. They said to go the extra mile in sharing too.

Put today on your calendar folks!!!!! In math I actually learned something, on the first day!!!!! I learned about Roman Numerals, I thought they stopped at X but they actually go on to do L,D, and M!!! I also wrote some of my answers with the cool tails!!!!!

Day 1

Today was the 1st day of school. I was really hoping we wouldn’t do journal this year but, I guess hoping itself won’t do anything. I didn’t really learn anything today. We just read book “Introductions”. my Spanish lessons were a review and Read aloud is Walk the World’s Rim. It’s about an Indian boy and some Spaniards.
