Hey! Mom hurt her back last night so we didn’t do History, Bible, Poems, or Read Aloud. Dad came home early to take her to the chiropractor. I finished math in a half hour. My Missions Trip team meeting is tonight! I am so excited! Also I am working on a really cool project, I am making a Television Series with some friends. Our first episode should be finished sometime in August. So exciting!
In LA I had a lot of work to do. All I had to do yesterday was chose a book, but today was different. I had to read the book several times, write notecards, and practice telling the story. It took me a very long time! I read more of The Hobbit today. All I have to say is, Why didn’t they stay on the path???? They were warned several times, and weren’t they told there was nothing good to eat in the forest? Seriously.

In Bible we read about Pentacost, when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples. I forgot what Pentacost was and I was going to ask mom what it was to see if there was a hidden meaning behind the Holy Spirit coming then. But when she told me I laughed so hard at myself. Ohh well, it was a good thought, it just didn’t turn out too well.
We read a poem by Edwaard Lear. He was one of the youngest of 21 children!!! He was lonely as an adult. Probably because he was used to so many siblings! His poems are lonely too.

We read about Sual becoming Paul in Bible. He barely escaped from people who tried to kill him several times. I am glad that God can change people so much, or else a lot of people wouldn’t be saved! I didn’t realize that Paul stayed about two years in the place where he got back his sight before they persacuted him, that explains how he had people to help him get out in a basket so soon!
We learned more about Napoleon in History. Today he won all of Austria’s land in Italy. I personally do not remember that Austria had any land in Italy. They probably won it in another war. We read about Waterloo too, the Battle of Waterloo is very famous.

Today we started watching our neighbor’s chickens. She has four hens and she asked us to watch them until Sunday. We get to keep the eggs that they lay during that time. I like the chickens, I am slightly afraid of them, but then again when I first met our cat, Lava I was afraid of him too. (And he is a ‘fraidy-cat)

In history we learned about South America becoming free. And then getting recaptured by the Spanish. And then getting it’s freedom. There are no more ups and downs, sorry. We learned about Simon Bolivar, he is who they named Bolivia after. They are spelled very differently, nevermind, that doesn’t matter very much. Bolivar wanted South America to be run like the US. Although he accomplished much in his lifetime, sadly, his dream was never a reality.

Today we stopped early to go to a thing at about 4:30. We fed the chickens today. They are loud. I am sad that we only have two days left. I hurt my back on Wednesday. It still hurts today. I didn’t get very much school done.

Today I tried to finish up yesterdays school but I ended up going to the store with mom and then youth group and so on. In Bible we learned that Jesus has overcome the world, but He has also made the world. So I don’t know if that really means much, well I guess it does mean that He still has power. It’s not like He lost all his power long ago and now He’s just hanging around, unable to do anything. Luckily for us He’s not like that. Or we would be in huge trouble.

Today we are doing a Mondays work on a Fridays schedule. I know that seems confusing, and trust me it is. (I keep on thinking it is an actual Monday and then I think well it was Friday yesterday and yesterday I was thinking that if we could skip work that day we could be on the right day then… Today is a Friday!) It is getting me all mixed up! We went on a field trip and saw dad at lunch and then went to the store.
Today I started a brand new reader. It is called homesick and it is the Fictionalized story of Jean Fritz, written, by Jean Fritz, and fictionalized, by Danny Gofer… Just kidding, it was fictionalized by Jean Fritz too. I don’t think I quite like it. It is not… Well… Something that I would read otherwise… Like… It would be a book that I pick up at the library and less than halfway through realize that, as a Christian I shouldn’t read this. Seriously, I am sort of concerned.

Algiers is the capital of Algeria. 3,574,000 people live in there. Algiers means the islands. They have some very poor areas in Algiers.
In math I learned about how you can have zeros in your answer when you’re doing long division. It is really easy once you understand it. Although I barely got an A, even though out of twenty-seven questions with only twenty-two counting and I got two wrong.

Today I had to look at a picture and pretend that it was the picture on the cover of a book. Then I had to tell them what I wanted the title to be, the name’s of the characters, and the basic plot line. Tomorrow I was supposed to write what it says on the back cover but I did it today as extra. Now I am planning on writing the whole book.
For word study I had to look up a couple of words in the dictionary. It took a way longer time than usual, and it wasn’t very fun but it was ok.

Niamey is in Niger. We don’t know what Niamey means, 1,027,000 people live there. They have some poverty in Niamey.
We learned about water for Sudan today. It is cool. We read a book based on the founders life, and he helped someone write it. It was hard to read at times because the founder was alive during the civil war in Sudan, but I loved it. Later we visited their website, and heard one of the workers stories.

We started 1st John today. It is going to be interesting, John feels pretty strongly about other religions. He is attacking one head on right from the very first sentence in this book.
Cotonou is in Benin. We don’t know what that means.841,000 people live in Cotonou.
We read some really weird poems today. One was about lily pads, and the other one was about giraffes. In the lily pad one they described waterlilies as white dots and lily pads as beautiful things.
