In Bible times prophets were called seers. We learned about Saul getting anointed. Samuel said to Saul, get up so that you can leave. We read a crazy crazy crazy making no sense poem today about a man with two arms, two legs, two feet, and a head with eyes and such.

We learned about acids and bases in science. We also learned about polymers. They are really nice. We learned about the pH scale. Science take forever and is really really hard to under stand and they keep repeating things.

In history we learned about the events we are learning about in a historical fiction book, it is cool to know more about it. It is also cool that they fit together, it happens a lot with Sonlight. We also learned about St. Patrick, they did it a few weeks late. There is a ton of fighting in history, it is over half of it.

In Bible the Philistines attacked Israel. Samuel was judging the Israelites and they won. In science we learned about types of reactions.

We learned about the French civil war. We learned about Joan of Ark, I wonder if God actually sent her. If she was a christian then she sort of died a mytar. If she wasn’t she was still used by god to make history.

Today we packed because we are going to be in the car for 6 hours tomorrow round trip to a memorial. I did a ton of math today. I dislike math, it isn’t fun and it’s frusterating, which I can’t even spell.

Today we read about Samson in the Bible. Isn’t it amazing that he carried something the weight of an actual van, not a mini-van uphill for miles while being chased!!!

We read about the Monguls in history. Their enemies were so afraid of them that they wouldn’t even fight, one time a Mongul road up and 17 Monguls tied themselfs up because he told them to. Isn’t that amazing!!!

Online websites that encourage learning have been paying for collage student’s notes. But Arkansas Universities aren’t sure whether to allow it or not. Different teachers and collages have different ideas on it, and some students have gotten in trouble for being “notetakers.” Some websites want the students to upload quizzes and tests as well. We will see what gets decided in the UA schools.

We read poems about birds today. We learned more about the different states of matter. We went to the gardens and put cardboard around our plot to keep to weeds from growing. I made a pulley system to open my door, turn on my light, and turn off my light from my bed depending on which one it is set up for at the moment. Dad came home early because Mom went to the chiropractor at 3:30 p.m.
