We finished pretty early today too, and I am doing some of next weeks stuff because we are doing extra together stuff this week and extra alone stuff next week at Camp K and Camp S. I am doing this because I want to be free next week because this year I have a friend where we are staying!!! Only Three day left before we leave for camp K, I can’t wait but I will miss Mom and Dad too.

We read a poem about Paul Revere today. In Bible we read about Joseph revealing himself, and then Israel and Joseph’s brother came to Egypt.

Did you know that the vikings played chess? They did, it is supposed to be a civilized game. But they did, we saw a picture of one of their chess pieces. Some vikings lived in now-a-day Russia,  Greenland, and they lived in America before  the indians attached them. Leaf the lucky found North America way before Columbus even tried.

In science we learned about cool buildings in science. One was shaped like a wave, another looked like it was made of water, and one other one had levels that would spin around with the wind!!! Isn’t that crazy!!! We also learned about Pneumatics. The questions were okay.

We read about pharaoh’s dreams, and Joseph was just set over the land of Egypt. Joseph just had Manasseh and Ephraim, and his brothers came to see him. Herod was a bad and power hungry ruler, he killed his own wife and sons because he thought they wanted to have his throne. An emperor once joked that it is safer to be Herod’s pig than his son.

The Norse people are attaching the Franks in history. They were sometimes called vikings, they’re boats had flat bottoms so that they could go right up to shore. We also read about Eric the Red, and Leaf the Lucky.

In science we learned about concave and convex lenses, did you know that our eyes can change between the two? Our eyes are cool, I wonder if contacts lens got the name from convex lenses.

We read more about Joseph in Bible today. We got to the part when he is in jail but not to when he interprets the servants dreams yet. We read poems about the theater, the circus, city lights, and one weird one about wanting to be a tool or part of a building or something like that.

Did you know that they called the Frankish empire the holy Roman empire, which really makes no sense at all because first of all; they weren’t holy, holy means set apart for God, and that’s what the Jews are, second of all; they aren’t roman, so I don’t know what to think about that. Charles The Great was a Emperor of the Frankish empire, I am going to call it what it actually was no matter what they called it. He tried to have a christian empire, which is good and all except for the fact that he forced everyone to do it, there is a reason God let Adam and Eve sin, He wanted to be loved but if people are forced to love Him then it is not actually loving Him because you are being forced to do it. That was an extremely long sentence that it seems as if it should be worded better but that is the only way I know how to word it.

We read about Esau, and his wives and children. Esau and Jacob couldn’t live together because they had too many animals. They have a lot of crazy hard to pronounce names. There were a lot of chiefs that came from Esau. We also learned about Jesus and how Israel was when Jesus was alive. Jesus probably spoke Hebrew, Arimaic, and Greek! Wow that’s a lot!!! Most houses in Judea had one story houses, they only had meat on holidays. Everyone wore tunics.

Mom went to the store today and we watched Adi. It was ok. I am teaching Lava tricks like come, heel, jump and so on.

We read about various different islands in the Pacific. We learned about New Zealand mostly, and a few others such as Polynesia. We learned about the big heads on Easter Island, they weigh more than 50 tons!!! That’s a lot!!!

We read about Labon catching up with Jacob, and their covenant. We read poems about things from cows to apples to houses near woods to houses on a hill, I think they are supposed to have some sort of theme.

In science we learned about density. They answered questions like how do submarines go up and down, why does wood float and rocks don’t, and why does a big metal boat float? We also did a science experiment, we made a bubble in the top of a cup, and we watched it get thinner and more colorful until it popped. We just learned about light waves and measured them, so we talked about what we think happened as we blew on it and how the color was shaped.

 In LA I had to start research for a report about Arkansas, I found a lot of good things. I found out where Arkansas got its name, and I also found out when it was first explored. I learned some new interesting things about Arkansas!!!

We read about Jacob getting Esau’s blessing, it is sad that they only have one blessing to give. I didn’t know/remember that Jacob means deceiver. We read about Muhammad’s death, Islam is “all about peace and being nice to everybody,” except for non Muslims, for that last part I read in-between the lines. I read some of Lamentations and I think the Israelites were sad because they disobeyed God, they got punished, and they were prisoners. The five rules for success that I got from Daniel are; don’t defile God, be nice to others, praise God, give the honor to God, and trust in God.

Lava is so cute he will melt you with his cuteness!!! Here is a picture of him. (I seriously want you all to be melted, I would suggest sitting down for this.) He just tried to press buttons on my computer and he logged me out and added in a few good things about himself too, (not really, he actually did a slash and logged me out.)

Today Mom went on a walk with her friend Miss Sue, and I watched Adi, it was pretty fun. We made things with my clay. I made a box that looks like a little cupcake. It is cute, I am going to give it to my cousin, Sabra Joy, she is coming Friday.

I made a journal as Josiah, I even made it look old. I wrote about finding the Bible in the temple, and that I want to make free schools.

It snowed today!!! Only a few inches but that is better than none! We had to do a bit of together school and then I got to play in the snow, we made slushies, and jumped on the trampoline with snow on it, I started to build a snowman but I didn’t finish it.
