Today we went on a field trip to Adi’s gymnastics and then to a store that was closing so everything was on a 25% off sale. We got some really good candy there. We also got a ton of gluten free cake, brownie, pancake, and muffin mixes. We also got a lot of frosting. After we got home and put all of that away and had lunch ect ect, a homeschooling neighbor came over and did school with us. We did 15 minutes of work and then five minutes of playing. It was so much more efficient! I was more focused and got a lot more done, and we also got to play! I think it will be awesome for school if we do 30 minutes of work, five of play tomorrow! I am 1/4 of the way done with math for the year already!! It is going by so fast!

I had to do a Review for “lessons” one through four in Wordly Wise today. I was hard, I had to do a two and a half page hidden word with my vocabulary words and sometimes other random “common knowledge.” I learned what mono means in vocabulary today. Mono means one, or single.

Saccot was a ton of fun!!! I can’t wait until next year! Today I finished the really hard language arts I had. It took a long time to do. Even though mom helped me with an awesome method on how to do it that was so much easier! I also did cooking, for cooking I made dinner for Daddy and me. I learned some about dutch oven cooking at Saccot too. We went on a field trip to the chiropractor today. As usual it took a long time. I got a letter from my Grandma that I will refer to as Grandma J.

Today was a crazy day. I thought that I didn’t need to do school for some crazy reason so I didn’t and ended up getting behind. We didn’t go to the Bible study so we aren’t going to go to it at all, (long story) but we did go to the library and then I went to ballet so I really didn’t get everything done. Including this journal, if you didn’t notice, (and I would be suspicious if you did sense I am assuming none of you are spies or stalking me) it is actually Thursday rather than Tuesday now.

I started math today. But I didn’t finish it. Math is not very fun, and I would prefer not to do it on Saturday. But I might have to. Sadly.

I didn’t do any science today. (I had to do a lot on Wednesday.) I have to be reading the book I’m reading on Evolution until week nine at the least.

Today we went on field trip to mom’s womens study. It was fun, we played in there playroom. (It was at a family friends house.) But, between that, playing a game of chess, and going to the library I didn’t get all of my school done. After I got back from ballet, ate dinner, and showered I did more school so all I have left to do tomorrow is math, Bible, and electives.

In English I learned more about character development. I learned about all the ways they make the characters seem real. How they act, react, how others talk about them, and how others act towards them all make them seem more real and add up to make their character. So it is sort of more complicated than just describing them in more detail.

Today we are doing a Mondays work on a  Fridays schedule. I know that seems confusing, and trust me it is. (I keep on thinking it is an actual Monday and then I think well it was Friday yesterday and yesterday I was thinking that if we could skip work that day we could be on the right day then… Today is a Friday!) It is getting me all mixed up! We went on a field trip and saw dad at lunch and then went to the store.

Today I started a brand new reader. It is called homesick and it is the Fictionalized story of Jean Fritz, written, by Jean Fritz, and fictionalized, by Danny Gofer… Just kidding, it was fictionalized by Jean Fritz too. I don’t think I quite like it. It is not… Well… Something that I would read otherwise… Like… It would be a book that I pick up at the library and less than halfway through realize that, as a Christian I shouldn’t read this. Seriously, I am sort of concerned.

Today I am better in the throat but still sore, and I am congested. I went on a field trip to watch Adi’s gymnastics. It was ok. We didn’t really do school today. I finished a math lesson and that is pretty much it. I played with Adi. I am going to youth group now. It is a ton of fun.

Today we went on a field trip. We went to a church with a really cool playground with tubes and everything where we played with some little kids. Our moms talked while we played. It was pretty fun. I didn’t need to do spanish or science today. I didn’t finish all the work I had to do either.

Math was okish. I had to listen to him explain how to divide. It was not very good because I don’t have all of my multiplacation table memorized so I can’t do short division as easily.

Today we went on a field trip to the library and our other house. We were going to meet dad at the other house and it didn’t work out. I got some craft books at the library! I also got a gingerbread house book that had a ton of really cool ways to decorate it! There was even a really cool log house type one.

In Bible we learned about the different types of Bible studies. There are word studies, topical studies, character studies and so on. Did you know that a devotional is different than a Bible study?

Yesterday we started drawing and I am better than I thought at drawing recognizable things! Today we went on a field trip to the library. It was fun, I like going to the library on Tuesdays! Reed and Adi don’t think I am writing my journal fast enough, so they are threatening to write it for me and post it on the blog saying that I will do all sorts of things for them. Siblings, you just gotta love em.’

We made hurricane in a bottle today. It was really really cool! It is ironic that we are doing it right now, I am not on good terms with Harvey! BE PRAYING FOR TEXAS, AND HUSTON A TON!!! We are going to try and get a science fair going with other homeschoolers, it is going to be so much fun!!!

In history we read about people who pretended to be loyal to other people when they were really loyal to the other side! I think to many more of the bad peoples stories get told in history than the good.

I had my first quiz in math today, it went fine. I think I got a B at the least. Math isn’t really hard yet.

Yesterday we didn’t do school because it was Adi’s birthday! So today I did some make-up work. I “learned” how to borrow in math. We went on a field trip to the Chiropractor today, I got to do some reading. In my school reading I read a book about silkworms and moths. It was sort of gross. I memorized Phillipians 1:2-3 for Bible this week, it is a good one to memorize. But then again it would do us good, and all of them are good for, memorizing.
