Tag: 6th Grade

I am very very very behind. I have a little less than a week of school to do. I’m still not done with Tuesdays school, oh yeah, of last week. School is like a pit that’s being dug, I am trying to fill it up, but for every shovel-full of dirt I put in, three more get shoveled out. So that’s been my day, shoveling dirt. Oh and also we went to the library and I got my summer reading!!! I can’t wait to start them, If I ever fill the hole until tomorrow I am staring them early!!! Also I listened to this really great song you should listen to, it’s called “Hills and Valleys.”

We learned about the taking over of America. Most of the people died because of the other countries greed. They died of sickness that they brought as well as war. We read about wind in science. Air is always moving, it never stops. So I think that makes all air wind, or is there another difference between the two that I don’t know about. If there is and you know about it please comment. I finished math really early today.

We learned more about indians in history, I am ready to learn about something else. I can’t wait till summer!!! We went to a braces appointment today. We also went to the store and bank. We didn’t get much school done. I am getting better at logic.

We read about Paul being tried in Rome. Did you know that Paul was a Roman citizen? Paul had a lot of horrible experiences. We have moved into American countries. In science we are learning about the layers of rock.

I did more science without answering the questions these days. We did history and Bible too. We started a new book. It is called the Westing Game, it is a murder mystery and sort of interesting and confusing.

I fractured my collarbone on Saturday, so I am just doing science, history, poems, and Journal. Yesterday I went to two doctors, and didn’t do any school. We learned about Saul becoming Paul. Wouldn’t it be horrible to be named after king Saul? Who would do that to their child? In the past people valued education way more than now. We learned about scientific experiments.

We read some crazy poems. They are still tongue twisters. I finished math before 9:30, I got a A+ in my Quiz.

We read about Mansa Moosa, he was a king who went on a pilgrimage, he gave away so much gold he had to borrow money to get back and the price of gold in Egypt plummeted. H e built a mosk every Friday whereever he stopped the whole year and a half it took to go on the pilgrimage!!!!!!!!! There is mystery around Zimbabwe.

We read about David and Saul, Saul now doesn’t like David. David married Saul’s daughter. We read some tongue twisters in poems like peter piper, and how much wood would a wood chuck chuck. Today we almost finished our science book, we only have seven weeks left so the book we are about to start must be really really short.

In history we learned about Africa. There was a lot of gold and salt around Africa. I am glad we live in nowadays and not in a time long ago. Ghana was the center of gold trade but there wasn’t even any gold mines there, just in the countries around and they taxed people coming through the trade routes going through Ghana.
