Today we went on a field trip to the orthodontist and the library. We had to go to the orthodontist because I had a wire that popped out and Reed had two! The library was short but fun, and I got 8 books. I had extra school today because I didn’t finish all of yesterdays.
In math they taught me how to multiply and what multiplying is, it was a bit boring. I had 1 1/2 of a lesson today. But it went pretty fast.
I am going to tell you about our week and a day long vacation in this journal. I got up at about 6:00 am and got dressed, ate breakfast, and did last minute packing/packing the stuff that I just realized that I had forgotten. We left the house around 7:00 and hit the road. It didn’t seem too long, even though we drove 12 hours that day. We listened to 2 audio books and played a ton of car games. We listened to 6 audio books total on this trip. I read some and got motion sick. That night we stayed with some friends, they had a fire pit, a zip line and more than one play house in their backyard. they also had a new puppy and a home theater, I went zip lining for the first time, and zip lining in the dark too!!!!!!!!!! We also had s-mores and played games. I got to sleep with my friend whom I hadn’t seen in about 2 years, it was a ton of fun!!! We went to lamplighter publishing and had a tour led by the president we even watched some books get made, I folded 100 boxes, and the president even signed 2 books for us and personally picked a book for each of us kids. Dad was thinking about maybe working at lamplighter so we went to their company picnics and made friends, they are awesome people who are serving God through their work and we love what they do but God doesn’t want us there right now. We also went and saw Niagara Falls, the Statue of Liberty, the site of the Twin towers, and our cousins we hadn’t seen in 3 years. At Niagara Falls we got ice cream, and we were going to go to the crown at the Statue of Liberty, but it was broken so we saw it from the New Jersey side. We got to camp out on the floor in the basement with our cousins, and we got there way before dinner so we got to spend a bit more time with them than we might have. And we got to meet the newest edition to the family of 11, she is not quite 1 year yet. On the 4th or 5th day of driving it got a bit boring, I am glad we are back home now.
Today my mom babysat some friends again. The morning was very productive considering.We went on a field trip to the library, and I was almost done already checked out and stuff and Adi was just starting to look at books. I’m glad that I found everything easily, and I got some extra reading time in too.
I was “taught how to subtract again.” It’s not bad, at least it’s not to hard, plus it makes school go much quicker. Math was done in a flash because of that, so the morning went pretty smoothly altogether.
I looked up a letter the main character wrote in the book I’m reading and I had to check if it had all the parts of a good letter. The person forgot to sign the letter. The part of a good letter are heading, greeting, body, signature.
Today was the second day of school. It was okay, not as good as yesterday though. We went on a field trip to the dentist. It was about one and a half hours long, so pretty much it was looooong, and during lunchtime. Math was the same as yesterday, and I got an A in spelling.
In history we learned about Nomads. They are people who move around to find food and stuff. They are kind of like Indians, don’t you think? Did you know that Nomads ate lizard soup? That is so discusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I thought that it was interesting that music was first used in Germany.
Science was about spontaneous generation, and there were pictures. I’m just going to leave it at that.
Jobs friends aren’t wise at all! They told him some lies. That must make him a bit unhappy.
We started case for christ today. It is a lot like case for creator, it is about the same thing by the same author. It is good.
Tirana is in Albania. Tirana means ancient name of Tuscany. 538,000 live in Tirana.
We started a new book named “Whatever happened to penny candy?” It seems to start ok, it’s about economics and money. I think I will like this book even though economics isn’t my best subject. Economics is confusing!!!!! Whatever happened to bartering? The only thing that makes me think they stuck with money was because if the person who has what they need or want might not want what they have to barter, but everyone wants money.
Today in Bible Job says he thinks he will die soon. That is so sad! He tells his friends to leave because he thinks that he will die.
Kabul is in Afghanistan. Kabul means cane. 3,768,000 people live in Kabul. They say that Cane built Kabul.
Science was still about balance. We did some experiments about balance. On one we had to pick up a chair by only one of its legs, on another one we had to get out of a chair without leaning at all. The science questions were ok but they took a really long time.
We read a ok poem today about sea lions.
Today I didn’t get much school done partly because we went to the Chiropractor and the store this morning, also because I spent a lot of time helping mom with our dessert for tomarow when we have people over for diner, and also partly because I’ve been trying to get this thing that I need to work to do part of my school to work and it took a bunch of time but it still didn’t work.
In binder work I had to choose a animal to learn about and I chose Pandas. I chose Pandas because they are my second favorite animal and they’re endangered.
I did two days of spelling today. I am behind in spelling and it was good to do two because it helped me catch up. I got a B in one and a A in the other one.
We read some super duper weird folk tales about Russia!!!
Today science was about reflexes, like blinking and jumping out of the way of something. It was also about habits, it wasn’t gross and it was sort of fun.
We finished the book about camodre perry. We realy liked the book and it has been fun reading it.
We went on a field trip to the pet store to get hamster food for Thor, to whole foods to get stuff for mom, and the post office to mail something plus get stamps.
We read a not as weird poem about magnets. I even sort of liked it.
Binder work whitch is usaly fun was super fun today!!! I got to write a story to go with a picture they give me. They are usaly intresting pictures that spark a story. I had a ton of fun on this one!!! I can’t wait for the next one!!!
Today I didn’t get much done because we went on a very long field trip to a friends house while our mom went to the doc. to see if she would need surgery, she didn’t. They stuck cameras into her and looked at her insides, they even took pictures. We had fun and didn’t do school while we were at they’re house. It was awesome science mom didn’t need surgery.
After we got home from our field trip I did a lot of bible reading, and also a ton of house skills. It took a ton of time but it was pretty fun for school.
I had to watch Adi this afternoon, it was very hard but a teeny bit fun.
Today I didn’t get much done at all, because we went on a field trip to a homeschool group at our church, and it took pretty much all morning. But it was fun!!!
After lunch we read our history, it was a bit gross but it was still fun. we also almost finished case for creator.
I did a bunch of science workbook pages today, it was super hard and , not fun at all. It took a while to do them.
