Yesterday was labor day and we took it off because dad got it off. We had some fun and got some stuff done too. We have taken several days off so far, so we are doing Fridays work today. Friday is our half-day, so it is not even lunch yet.
We read about Jesus spitting on a deaf and dumb mans tongue and ears. We also read the story of Jesus sending a demon out of a girl. But the one about the girl was not the common one about the slave-girl who’s master made money off of it, it was another one I don’t remember hearing before. I think it would be gross to have anyone other than Jesus spit in your ears.
Slave trade was a very common thing in the past. I was also horrible. They got them from Africa in two main ways. They took over territories and kidnapped, or they bought prisioners from warring tribes. We read about the trade triangle, that made almost all but the slaves who traveled it rich, and one queen who was raised and later fought during a over 60 year long war to keep her country from being overtaken.
I was “taught” how to multiply with more than two digits on the bottom row. It was incredibly boring. The problems were a little bit challenging though. But I got an A+ anyway.
In vocabulary I looked at a page in a book an tried to find any roots and see if I knew what they meant. It wasn’t too hard. Mostly because there were no roots on the page I chose. But I’m not going to complain about that, or getting to read a page of a book. Don’t worry, I chose a school book, and it was a page I had already read.
