Today the baby came over again. He didn’t cry nearly as much this time. We also had a ciropracter apointment today. It took a long time. During it I did some drawing including some pretty good ones, well at least good for me even though I do take drawing as part of school. I also did a drawing that I’m sending to my first ever freind.

I wrote a bunch of paragraphs using two words spelled the same with different meanings. It was sort of hard but sense I like to do creative things so it wasn’t to hard.

I did some math today, it wasn’t very easy but I finally did it. It also took a long time and I had to wait a long time for the computer.

Today a friend came over he has been mentioned in Reeds journals too. He cries a lot. It is hard to do school while he’s crying. I had to be super quiet a bunch because when he’s not crying like mad he’s either eating or napping pretty much and it’s so hard to get him to nap so when he’s napping we have to be quiet as posible, witch is so hard and crazy anoying.

I did a lot of binder work today. It was hard. I had to read my bible verse some today. It was sort of fun but very hard. It took a long time.

Today I wrote directions to go with a map I made. I also made the map today. It was very fun. I even got to take a break from school while I tested it. I found a problem with it and fixed it before it got graded.

Today I did a lot of science. It was very hard, I had hard questions. It took a lot of time. But I finally finished it.

I also got a lot of binder work done. I wrote a paragraph about Pocahontas and what I thought of her. It was sort of fun. It took a long time. I also did a creative writing type thing where I took some sentences and put them together in a paragraph. It was super duper hard.

Today I recited a chapter of the bible to my hamster. I did it only because I was tiered of reciting it to my stuffed animals and decided that I was ready for a live audience. I also as part of current events today I read about a hamster that does trapeze. Emma (my hamsters name) you need to spend more time training.

President Obama changes Mount Mckinley’s name to Denali.

by  • 

Denali is the tallest mountain in North America. It is 20,320 feet tall. It was named after President Mckinley, until it was renamed Denali. President Obama is officially renaming it Denali on Monday during a Presidential trip to Alaska. Denali is the traditional Alaskan native name. It means high one in Athabascan. Although the Ohio delegation is against the whole thing, Obama is still renaming it. Since Mckinley was from Ohio it has always been a concern of Ohio to protect Mount Mckinley’s name.

Today we were suppost to go to the musiem of discovery, but because Reed was feeling sick we didn’t get to go and instead we decided to go on sunday and postpone a puppet show that I had planed and it is probubly going to be very werth it because dad gets to go with us, and I still get to do the puppet show later that day.

In school today I didn’t have much to do, I did a bit of reading (about indians) and it was fun but took a long time. It was mostly about they’re homes and how it’s changed from tippis to log houses.

In current events I had to write my report and I am going to type that up after I finish this journal. My report was about china changing how much the yuan (they’re currency) is worth.

Today I also did a bit of china, I had to quote a chinise person and explain what I thought they meant by that quote.

We just finished reading this book and I thought I’d give it a review.       I give  it a four out of five star review. It is about a missionary and his wife and  they’re struggles to translate the bible, learn a new language, and do all this in a different culture. It’s an awesome book but there are some gross and a couple of ugly things described in it.         I don’t suggest it for 4-6 year olds because of the cultural difference, and no lack of adjectives in it.

In the first day of science that we did we learned about kidneys and did you know that if you hang your arms down at your sides your kidneys are at your elbows?
