Tirana is in Albania. Tirana means ancient name of Tuscany. 538,000 live in Tirana.

We started a new book named “Whatever happened to penny candy?” It seems to start ok, it’s about economics and money. I think I will like this book even though economics isn’t my best subject. Economics is confusing!!!!! Whatever happened to bartering? The only thing that makes me think they stuck with money was because if the person who has what they need or want might not want what they have to barter, but everyone wants money.

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.

Today we started Job.We were wondering how you are supposed to pronounce Job.We couldn’t figure out. It would be hard not to blame God or sin after what happened to him. Mom pointed out that in the bible it says he didn’t blame God or sin so does that mean that blaming God isn’t a sin? That doesn’t make sense. How could that be true? We have nothing to blame God for that isn’t for the greater good. Right? Isn’t God the one who made the earth, the heavens, us, and everything in between? He’s the one who loves us and cares for us. Everything bad that He ever lets happen to us isn’t actually bad. Right?

Tashkent is in Uzbekistan. Tashkent means city of stone. I was wondering if it is made out of stone or if there is a lot of stone around the place that the city is built. There are more than 2 million people living in Tashkent.

We read a really cool poem about fireworks. The poem had a really intresting perspective.And might of used personifacation.
