We went to pickup stuff at the store and the library, it was fun. It is only 4:14 and I should be done by 5 o’clock, yay! Today we read our stuff by ourselves. I read about Samurai in history. They were like knights in a lot of ways. I read ahead in Bible and read about crossing the Jordan and the memorial stones. We read crazy not understandable poems.

They had their codes of chivalry, their lords their land and other such things. They knew how to paint, dance,garden, and write poetry. It must of taken forever to put on armor. There were knights who set up hospitals and they had a white cross with red around for their coat of arms. We learned about the holy crusades.

We started chemistry in science today. Chemistry is the study of substances. They mix them ,heat them, cool them, discover them, and other such things.

We are back at our house with mom and dad now!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got the day off of school yesterday because mom was sick with the stomach bug or something like that, and it was also presidents day. She is better now but not all the way better, and Reed is sick too so I have been the only one doing school today. It is only 1:48. Adi is moving out of my room so I am doing a ton of cleaning.

I got an A on my math quiz. I learned about pluralization in LA, it was pretty easy and went quickly. I drew a map of where Jesus did miracles for field guide, it took a while but I think I did an okay job if I do say so myself. I am ahead in workbooks so I didn’t have to do any today. I did some of yesterdays stuff so that when we do extra together stuff I won’t have as much stuff to do.

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.

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.

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.

In Bible I learned from the accounts of the good kings of Judea that to be a good God follower you should not let the temptation for wrong be there, so that you will not be tempted. I read about Asa, Amaziah, Azariah, and Jotham. They followed God but bad things happened to most of them because “Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.” 2 Kings 14:4, this is also said in 2 Kings 15:4, and something that is much the same in 1 Kings 15:14. The kings followed God and obeyed God, they didn’t sacrifice. But the people did, and they paid for it, with the exception of Asa because “the heart of Asa was wholly devoted to the Lord all his days.” 1 Kings 15:14. But the other kings still did right in his sight as far as we are told, and we are told about their downfalls. So their must be a reason, a purpose deeper than the eye can see, and maybe just maybe that purpose is to teach us the lesson of not letting the temptation be there to tempt.

We skipped the section on chemistry and went strait to physics in science. I thought physics was just gravity and stuff like that but according to the book every single invention from the wheel to modern-day things such as computers and MP3 players are due to the wonderful amazing physics. I personally think it is a bit of an exaggeration, but they can think whatever they want.

We also read some poems about trees. They were crazy, one was talking, one was staring at someone, and the other one I could make neither heads nor tails of it. But I could tell they were all using personification.

Today I pretty much just did last weeks school, I wrote a biography and made a timeline about my grandma. It took and hour to do the timeline and I also had to do the biography, I was supposed to interview her, write it, and do the time line in three days plus all my other school, now I am way behind and I still haven’t finished last weeks school!!! And the computer broke so I couldn’t do math, so all I did today was write a biography, and make a timeline about my grandma, some current events, and write a poem sort of like the types in psalms, I haven’t even started this weeks school yet!!! Here is the poem:

My family is great

they don’t get mad

when I burn the chocolate cake

they love me so sweetly

but sometimes they’re crazy

but I love them so

my family is great

Today we learned about sea lions, and seals. Did you know seals can dive six-times deeper than a submarine, and it can also hold its breath for two whole hours!!!! What amazing animals God has made!!!!!! If we were at church somebody would be saying amen at that, because you really can’t disagree.

I was learning about demonstrative adjectives, and indefinite adjectives. I had to find the demonstrative adjective in my dictation passage for this week. I also found the demonstrative adjective in their sentence, it’s underlined. Then I had to write a sentence or two using both a demonstrative adjective, and an indefinite adjective. It was pretty easy, and it didn’t take long. Now I am going to go play chess with Reed.

School was okay today, we went to the park and did some school there. It was a ton of fun. It is 3:04 and I am finished with school.

Did you know that there are over a 1,000 clay tablets in one  library in the fertle cresent. Isn’t that cool? It really helps us to learn about the past.

I was learning more about commas and their uses in binder work. There is this really funny book that dad told me about a couple years ago, it is about the importance of using commas the right way. The main thing in it is this: The panda eats, shoots, and leaves. That is the first one, here is the second one: The panda eats shoots and leaves. Aren’t commas amazing!!!
