Homeschool Journal, Friday The Thirteenth, Dun Dun Dun

by  • 

Our cousins came to see us so we didn’t start school until after lunch. I had a ton of fun with my cousin, Sabra Joy. I wish they could of stayed longer!!! It only seemed like a half-hour even though it was actually two-and-a-half hours. This was the best Friday The Thirteenth Ever!!!

We read about Jacob and Esau in Bible, I wonder if Esau was really about to starve or if he was just an exaggerating.

We read more about the Byzantine empire. Justinian wanted to have a Christian empire, I didn’t know he was Christian. Did you? Monks seem to be really good artists and are very well educated, but I don’t think being a monk, a nun, or amish brings you closer to God at all, I think reading the Bible and praying brings you closer to Him.

We read poem about Pocahontas, and pilgrims. There are poems about almost everything!!! It was sort of funny that we read a poem about Pocahontas because I just got a book about her.

We read how king Arthur got the round table, it was a wedding gift from his father-in-law. I like our book about king Arthur, it is interesting but a little bit confusing. I wish we were done with school.

Today was another loooooooong day of school, we learned about wind tunnels and air pressure in science, as well as a way that they made to prevent gasses from building up, it breaks down the molecules in the gasses, then they are pretty harmless. That is a great way to cut down on any greenhouse gasses, and it would help air pollution too. We also learned about cube worlds, it is a little bit odd, but it might be interesting to watch.

To the moon and back, in my sports utility vehicle?

by  • 

There have been some flying cars spotted in California. They are so top secret the company Zee.Aero, won’t disclose anything, not even what they are doing. They have a patented, and we know of at least several types with different kinds of motors, they have vertical lift, they hover and land nicely. It is not very loud according to Steve Eggleston, the assistant manager of a airplane parts company in Hollister California. Zee.Aero has purchased a landing strip, and may be close to a scientific breakthrough. They have some of the best scientists working for them, so maybe we will be going “to the moon and back,” in the near future.

We are learning about Egypt in history right now. The pharaohs were awesome fighters, one pharaoh, Tuthmosis the 3rd led his army into 17 battles!!! The houses in Egypt were made out of bricks as you probably already know because of the Bible, but did you know that they had guards at the gates?

We learned about mice, and new blue tooth pieces in science today. There is a watch that tells you your texts, and who’s calling you, as well as the time. They have wireless mice, I thought that it would be an awesome practical joke. You can click on things, zoom in, zoom out and such from the other room!!! It would be so funny.

Blind Ballet

by  • 

A blind singer is taking ballet to help her on the stage. It is hard for her, but she continues on enjoying the challenge. She of course needed private lessons, and the teaching method is very different, her teachers have to move her to the correct positions, even 1st position is a bit of a challenge. So it’s different but 40 year old Elizabeth Whitaker is trying hard, and picks things up quickly. Her teacher has studied at Shuffles and Ballet II, (Where I go!) under Miss Tracy, and Miss Jana, (Two of my teachers last year!!!) and at Ballet Arkansas, (It’s their Nutcracker I’m in!) with Kirt and Linda Hathaway. Mala, her teacher also has a University of Oklahoma degree in ballet performance. All this should help her on stage, may she reach her goal.

Today I am going to have a sleepover with one of my awesome friends!!!!! It is going to be a awesome day!!!!!! We are going to have cake because it is so yummy.

We read a book in science today named Cool stuff 2.0 and how it works. It was really cool, we learned how smoke alarms work!!! We only get to read it on Fridays though. Boo! but it’s still really cool!!!

Math is still super easy. I am acutuly getting tired of it. Math is so easy it’s boring! Espesally when I have to listen to a lecture.

Marie’s Free Food

by  • 

Marie’s is having a officers eat lunch free event on Tuesdays. The customers are buying the lunches for them. After all the shootings people wanted to show that they appreciate police, and the police are coming by the dozens because they consider it a safe place to go and be sure that it is okay to eat and not have to worried about poison. It is a great event and it really honors the police officers, I hope it lasts a long time.

PIG SUEI

by  • 

A couple in little rock have a pet vietnamese pot bellied pig. The state got a complaint about it from a neighbor and enforced the law about two hoved animals having to live at least 300 feet away from another house or business.Their attorneys quit because she said she was having problems with them on their blog. They couldn’t find more attorneys so they dropped the charges. She says that before she moved their she checked if it was ok.

Today in science we learned about genetically modified cows that make milk that can be turned into steel, and about how and why businesses invest in gene science. The simple answer to the why part of that question is they can make money from it. The other part of the question is simply answered too, basically they fund it.

Today I got to do a choose your own adventure for Africa. I did the one where you make a mask, like they do. It was cool, I really liked it and it was fun even though it took a long long time to do it.

CURRENT EVENTS: ISSUE WAY TO MANY,WHAT’S THAT ABOUT A CEASE FIRE?

by  • 

There was a cease fire between the Armenians and the Azerbaijans. Now both sides are claiming that the other broke it, and they were fired at a lot. The root of this  is from a conflict between the christian Armenians and the muslim Azerbaijans. Because of this there are a lot of borderline tensions between the two. Now Russia and the U.S. are encouraging them to actually keep a cease fire. But it doesn’t seem to be heading in that direction. Hopefully this conflct will be resolved soon!
