Today I am going to have my twin come over for a sleepover. Due to being safe I am not going to use her real name, and because of the fact that we are almost twins and we have similar names I am going to just call her my twin. She is going to come over for a sleepover tonight and I am so excited!!! Mom told me about it just yesterday. She is coming over because one of her siblings has an activity tomorrow and we are going to have a ton of fun. I can’t wait!

I history we learned about croissants. There was a siege on a French city and they were digging tunnels under the city. Everybody was told to listen and warn people if they made it into the city. Two bakers were making bread in the morning and one of them heard them. He yelled and some soldiers came and fought them in the tunnels. They ended up winning the war. It is said that the bakers made croissants to celebrate that day.

Today a private school friend of mine came and did school with us for a while. She said she wished she could be homeschooled the day before, after she had told us she didn’t have to go to school today and tomorrow because of parent teacher conferences. That was the beginnings of a brilliant idea. I invited her to do school with us today, and she still liked the idea of homeschooling at the end. (Lots of people get wrong ideas of homeschooling-many think I don’t do school at all and play all day.) It was fun. It is a lot better doing school if you are doing it with friends.

I wrote a pretend newspaper article about something in one of my books that I had to read. I will type it up and put it here.

Bella and I did a bake sale today. We made about $125, we are saving up for a two week ballet camp next year. We need to raise 4,000 for both of us to go and we don’t want to go alone. I didn’t get much school done because of this. Tomorrow we are going to do another Easter bake sale.

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.

Today mom and Adi went to the store, and library and Reed and I stayed home to do school. I probably spent at least an hour on critical thinking, I had to take strips of paper and fold them, and then I had to cut them into circles to make big and small hooked circles. It was really hard because if the paper was too thick then it wouldn’t fold, but if it was too thin then it would brake and not form the loops, and for about half of it the scissors I was using weren’t working right.

Math was okay. It didn’t teach me anything today, I am on lesson 20 something and I have already done 4 quizzes, I wonder when it will stop reviewing? Oh well, better too easy than too hard.
