Today I didn’t finish school because I have a fever. We went on a field trip to Adi’s gymnastics, it was cool. We got color-changing cups with their symbol on it.

Did you know that peace means with, something? Well I guess that means with God!!! Isn’t it cool how much the Bible says and how much their is to still learn about it and who wrote it? Whenever I read a good book, (especially when it’s with C.S. Lewis) I wonder about and wish I could talk to the authors, well this book is one I can talk to the author of, and guess what? He’s my best friend!!!

I revised my essay for LA today and I think it turned out pretty well if I do say so myself.

We went to the library today. It was a lot of fun and I got over 20 books! Don’t worry, I returned all the ones I had already.

In Bible we learned that the word Gospel means good tidings, so the story of Jesus is called good news, literaly. The reason there are five versions of the same story is because they are written to different people, Greeks, Romans, Ect… The reason there are 500 years without a book in the Bible is not because God didn’t do anything, it is because God didn’t do anything through a prophet that He also inspired to write a book. Did you ever notice the Bible is the only book in the world that can actually make you wise? How in the world did the Pharisies not notice they were fulfilling prophies?

Homeschool Journal 8/16/17 Day 3, Whoopie!

Wow! Three days of school already, it is going fast!!! I like making up puns for the number of days we’ve done of school. We went on a field trip to the orthodontist so that Reed could get a wire cut.

LA was easy today. I am writing a essay tomorrow, on the first week! I am probably going to do a lot of fun stuff this year! I actually get to read a bit more than a teeny bit this year for reading, yay! But it does mean that it takes a ton longer to do my reading.

Did you know that the Bible is actually for Christians, not non-christians? It is to tell us how to live, but it is also good for non-christians to learn about Christianity. The word Bible comes from the word “biblo” which means “book,” that really fits because the Bible is The book. The Bible was written in three different countries, with over 40 people writing in it!!!!! Now that is an awe-inspiring book!!!!! We are amazed by Jesus’ miracles but what we should really be inspired by is that He led a completely sinless life, because though He was still God, He was also completely human at the same time, so He was tempted just as much as we are. I know you’re saying “He had an advantage” but no, He really didn’t, He was just as human as we are. I know it’s hard to wrap your head around that concept, but He really was.                                   “I am not afraid of the temptation, I am afraid of the fact that I am tempted to do it”                                                                        -Vella Karman

In history we learned about the Spanish settling in South America. They stole around 15,000 dollars worth of money in gold from the natives!!!!! And thye forced them to mine it for them!!! I don’t know about you, but I would of made a few complaints about that!

This week was a very eventfuI week!!! got my sling off on Thursday, yay yay yay. On Friday Bella and I had a sleepover and on Saturday the pool opened and we had a bake sale but it didn’t go too well but it was ok after my grandparents doubled it. I also got some school done this week. I only have two lessons left in math!! I am almost done with Wordly Wise and I have a ton of Critical Thinking left. I can’t wait till 7th grade, but I’m sure I can last until after summer.

Homeschool Journal 2/27/17

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.

Tomorrow is the day. Tonight my friend who I am staying with is going to come over here for a sleepover. Tomorrow we are going to point class together, we are in the same class. Then we hang out until when we have to head over to her house, we pack up a car, (our van has broken down and the car is at the shop, so hopefully we will be able to get some sort of transportation because her house is an hour away.) Some how we will get there, we will get shown the house, (none of us not even I have seen her house and we have been friends for about a year now) then will will settle in, (we are bringing the cat too.) And then mom and dad will leave, if we ever get all that figured out then I will; A. Have an awesome week with my best friend, B. Have an awful week missing Mom and Dad, C. Have and awful week taking care of and cleaning up after Adi, or D. All of the above. Please vote on which one you think is most likely going to happen, I am hoping and praying on A. But B, or C seem way more likely. At least I’m almost done packing!!! Don’t forget to vote by putting your opinion/letter/other in the comments!!! We value your opinion.

We read about Israel blessing and telling the future of his sons. I thought he died yesterday but I was wrong and he died today. Most of his sons had awful futures. Joseph has now died, there was a lot of Dying in our Bible today.

In history we learned about the crazy idea that non-christians have of religion. It is sad, so so so very very very very sad. I don’t want to think about it any more. We also read about the arts, it took forever to make books, wow mass production is really helpful but it also cuts the value of it by 100. Everything used to be made of wood, that is sad because wood burns way to easily. We saw a picture of the Hagia Sophia. it is so amazing. The Chinese invented fireworks, clocks and discovered magnets.

I didn’t get much school done today because Mom is on jury duty, she didn’t get picked but she was still gone until about lunch and we didn’t do any extra yesterday. Dad worked from home because we didn’t know if she would get picked and he had a lot of meetings so I didn’t get anything but yesterdays math lesson done until after lunch. I went with Dad to pick her up, it was interesting because she told us a bit about the case because you are allowed to if you weren’t picked for the case, (I am guessing this is the rule because if you are allowed to and you are on the case the people you are telling it to would probably voice their own opinions, which is fine if you aren’t on the case.) and for school later I had to pretend to be a lawyer getting ready for a case against Israel and Judah, it was pretty cool how that worked out but sort of freaky too.

Today we went on a field trip to places that I am about to tell you what are, we dropped off donations at savers, did a walmart pick up, went in to get eggs and pledge because it was too late to add those. Went to the library, and got an awesome movie about ballet. Took lunch to dad because he forgot it, realized that we didn’t get him turkey, so he only had bread and an apple, (in hindsight I am really glad that I added an apple) went partly to the store with dad, realized that we had a bunch of refrigerated stuff in the back that had been waiting for a hour, turned around dropped him off and went home to get the stuff in the fridge. Then it was lunch, so we ate lunch, and then did school. I didn’t finish because I had a test in math, (Dad decided that he didn’t want me starting pre-algebra yet) and a big thing for Bible, I have to look up and then write down almost everything I can find about Israel’s enemies, and now it is 8:00 I haven’t finished school and I am going to have to do it tomorrow, (by the way  am singing the song from Annie) and I think you are crazy to be reading this because I am crazy and have lost my marbles, literally, I lost almost all of them. And now I am rambling on and on, and I am misspelling words that I am sure I know, and I would be kind of surprised if you are understanding more than half of what you are reading. Adi tried to color Reed’s hair green, but I stopped her, and now that I have bored you with almost every little thing that came to mind I shall wrap it up, figuratively.  If I had said that all in one breath I would be red as a cherry right now.

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!!!

Today we went on a field trip and mom surprised us by picking up dad and we had a picnic, it was awesome and we also went to the library and the store. It was really fun, I really enjoyed lunch with dad, it was the best surprise ever because dad left early for a men’s Bible study and we didn’t see him at all this morning.

Science was crazy as always sense we started this section on evolution. We were learning about this school district that wouldn’t let a teacher teach both sides of evolution or even extra about it because they were worried that if they knew too much about it they would see how ridiculous it is. They even fired the teacher. What is the world coming to???
