We read some crazy poems. They are still tongue twisters. I finished math before 9:30, I got a A+ in my Quiz.
We read about Mansa Moosa, he was a king who went on a pilgrimage, he gave away so much gold he had to borrow money to get back and the price of gold in Egypt plummeted. H e built a mosk every Friday whereever he stopped the whole year and a half it took to go on the pilgrimage!!!!!!!!! There is mystery around Zimbabwe.
ISIS is being pushed out of Mosul, they have been trying to get in even more lately. There was a possible use of chemical weapons on there part. There will be an investigation over the possibility. If so then there will be problems for ISIS with the humane society, and many countries. There has been a war over Mosul for a long long time but maybe this is the beginning of the end.
We read about David and Saul, Saul now doesn’t like David. David married Saul’s daughter. We read some tongue twisters in poems like peter piper, and how much wood would a wood chuck chuck. Today we almost finished our science book, we only have seven weeks left so the book we are about to start must be really really short.
In history we learned about Africa. There was a lot of gold and salt around Africa. I am glad we live in nowadays and not in a time long ago. Ghana was the center of gold trade but there wasn’t even any gold mines there, just in the countries around and they taxed people coming through the trade routes going through Ghana.
Oh, the good old days of dairy queen delights. A new dairy queen has opened in little rock for you ice cream lovers!!! The food is okay but the desserts are even better!!! The burgers have pickles if you don’t request none and the onion rings are really really good.
Yesterday I got one of my costumes, the picture didn’t do it justice, it is so so pretty!!! I can’t wait to get the other one it is so much prettier than this one in the picture I can’t fathom how pretty it must be in real life!!! Mom, Reed and Adi all gained up on me and wouldn’t believe me about something. That’s all I remember about together stuff. I sent a letter to a friend today. I had a lot of math, I can’t wait till summer. We get out in June. I always can’t wait till next year because for some reason it seems like school won’t seem like school in 7th grade or whatever grade is next, and it does seem like that for a while but then it gets back to being like school and I can’t wait until summer again. I guess that’s just how it goes.
We read an awful poem about twins and they got all mixed up and when he died they buried his brother. In history we read about the joining of Spain. Marriage was a sad thing when you were royal.
