I am ahead because we are doing Friday today. I already did all but one thing for Friday so I am doing Monday’s work. Because of that I am going to get to take one day off of everything except for history and Bible this week.

In math I “learned” how to add and subtract in my head, now that they have “taught” me how to add and subtract. Wow, crazy huh?

In history everybody seemed to care so much about the northwest passage and India’s spices. Because everybody was trying to find it and become rich with their silks. I understand the spices because salt kept meat from going bad and gave it flavor, but they still lost a lot of people looking for it.

Today is the eclipse!!! Yay! We are going outside to see it when it happens! It is going to be so much fun! I know, you might be thinking why is she writing going to? That is because it is only 11:22 AM, (I finished school early.) We are also renting out the house today! So it is an exciting day, actually it is going to be an exciting week, Adi’s birthday, Adi’s first day of gymnastics, Reed’s doctor appointment, ect… We are taking Thursday, (Adi’s birthday) off from school, so I am going to be doing extra school to make it up throughout the week.

I am going to write another essay this week about the definition of courage. I think I might be writing an essay every week from now on!!! Don’t get me wrong, I love writing essays, but an essay a week sounds intimidating when you are used to one or two a semester!

We over-viewed the layout of the bible today. Did you ever notice that in Matthew it says peter cursed and swore when he was denying Christ? So no only he denied Him, he also lied, and swore!

Did you know that the King James Bible was named after the king who ordered it to be made? He ordered a Bible to be made so that Protestants, Purists, and Catholics would all have the same Bible. History is sad, there is too much killing and wars for me.

Yes, yes it’s the first day of school again. Yay!!! 7th grade!!! I think 7th is better than 6th because I am not behind yet. In 7th grade you get a “school counselor,” so this morning I went and talked to her/mom about my schedule for this year. I personally think it is just a teeny bit crazy. This year I am going to have a yearbook which is going to be so much fun!!! It will be like a 7th grade scrapbook!!! We are making first day of school cupcakes in our school colors!!!

In English I started a notebook with all the things that I am learning about things like nouns, et cetera. So when I need to know something I can just look it up! LA was lots more work but a ton of fun today!

In history we read the introduction. Why do they even have one of those for a history book? But they did, and they started by telling us about the lay of the land. Also called where the 7 continents, and the oceans names. Where do they think we live, the bottom of the ocean? Outer space? They had some cool poems though. It is amazing how much the world has developed in the last 500 years!!!!! Just think about it, travel, medicine, governing, science, maps, electronics, why electronics wasn’t even a thing 500 years ago!!! We saw some really cool pictures of Anne Frank’s actual diary, the Hubble telescope, Henry Ford in a car, (I didn’t realize that Ford was somebody’s last name!) and a picture of JFK just minutes before he was shot. Current Events was sad with all the great things in the newspaper there are to write about.

In Bible we learned about bible junkies, the author, that God plants us in the right place, the Bible is a cleaning agent and God is the cleaning person, that you should document your insights, and that I might want to write a guide to God’s word. We read the Beatitudes. They said to go the extra mile in sharing too.

Put today on your calendar folks!!!!! In math I actually learned something, on the first day!!!!! I learned about Roman Numerals, I thought they stopped at X but they actually go on to do L,D, and M!!! I also wrote some of my answers with the cool tails!!!!!

Summer Journal 7/24/17

We are going to start school on 8th of Aug. So we really need to finish last year stuff. On Wednesday we are going to drive to Dallas, drop mom off at the airport and then drive home. After that we get a week or so without dad going to work. It will be fun but we will do a lot of school too. Today I did a lot of critical thinking and I only have like five left!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to say goodbye to the algebra and logic!!!!! But, that is pretty much all I really got done. We didn’t do together stuff today because we have two books left and in alone stuff we have about two weeks. But, never the less we will prevail.

We are behind in school and we want to be done with it, so Mom has started to just read a lot of our History and science so that we can finish sooner. We read a lot of poems!!! Mom is going to our Great Grandpa’s funeral and memorial service two weeks from now, so we are going to take that week off.

In bible we read about David. We read the story about the rich man who took the only sheep the poor man had. I’ve heard versions of this story, but I don’t remember it being about David!!! I’ve always known it as King George and the Ducky.

This week was a very eventfuI week!!! got my sling off on Thursday, yay yay yay. On Friday Bella and I had a sleepover and on Saturday the pool opened and we had a bake sale but it didn’t go too well but it was ok after my grandparents doubled it. I also got some school done this week. I only have two lessons left in math!! I am almost done with Wordly Wise and I have a ton of Critical Thinking left. I can’t wait till 7th grade, but I’m sure I can last until after summer.

It is summer and yes we are still doing school but it is only until we finish and we only have three more full weeks. I can’t wait till we’re done, also after summer I think 7th grade will be fun.

We learned about Bloody Mary and her sister Good Queen Bess in history. Forcing religion is a horrible way to rule.

I answered the questions for pre-writing a book review. I learned about adverbs, I get all the adverbs, pronouns and adjectives, ect, all mixed up.

I think Paul was willing to suffer all that hardship because he loved God so much and he wanted to serve Him.

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 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 an awful poem about twins and they got all mixed up and when he died they buried his brother. In history we read about the joining of Spain. Marriage was a sad thing when you were royal.
