This week I finished my alone reader about Japanese ports opening up. It was historical fiction. I liked it a lot. I can’t wait to start my next reader! I wonder if it will be historical fiction too, it’s my favorite genre.

We have hit the semester mark. Yay! I am a quarter of the way done with school for the year! Wow, if only the rest of the year would go this fast I would be done with the school year in no time! It is almost holiday time too, so much to look forward to.

During electives this week I finished an online course I was taking on how to make your headlines better. It was a very in-depth course and it even covered search engines and key words. It has majorly improved my headlines and I found the course interesting as well. For an example of my newly acquired skills see “Row Row Row your Boat… Democracy Down the Stream” an article I wrote about the possible new trend of diplomats row boating with each other while on business.

Book: Mr. Lemoncello’s Great Library Race by Chris Grabenstein

Reveiw

I think that Mr. Lemoncello’s Great Library Race is another amazing book by Chris Grabenstein. I plan on adding this to my personal shelves right next to the rest of the series. It is a three book series starting with Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library followed by Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olimpics and now making it a terrific trio, Mr. Lemoncello’s Great Library Race! I hope a fourth one is coming soon! Mr. Lemoncello’s Great Library Race is about a third challenge for the team, this time all the players are coming from the board of trustees, and there may be a problem from the past to fix! As mysteries arise from the past about Mr. Lemoncello’s start as a gamemaker it may turn out that Mr. Lemoncello didn’t play fair. It is up to Kyle and friends to find the truth lurking behind the surface. But what they know may ruin Mr. Lemoncello, forever!

We are back again. Already! It seems like the weekend only lasts 5 hours. And I did three math lessons this weekend. Oh well-they do say time flies when your having fun… (And not expecting/looking forward to something.)

In English I learned about different types of pronouns. Then I found and named the type of pronoun in a paragraph, explained why it was that type, and wrote a sentence using each type of pronoun. Then I added prefixes to words to make them a different type of word. I changed verbs into nouns, nouns into adjectives, and adjectives into nouns. I had to do two spelling days today.

Today Mom Reed Adi and the same kid who we’re babysitting again went to the store to pick up our online order. I stayed home to do school. :( I have several things I’m dreading such as four math lessons, and two current events. Tomorrow I have a church lock-in which is going to be really fun!!!!!!!! It is for fifty-six which is the thing I’m in, it’s sort of the transition between Sunday school and youth group, next year I’ll be going to regular church on Sundays and then youth group on Wensdays. As already stated by the name, at least I hope the name made it clear the fifth and sixth graders get to do the lock-in. I went last year and it was a ton of fun, we get to have inflatables inside the church and we roast marshmellows outside, we also have basketball and volleyball, and later we watch a movie. I went to sleep at two-something last year, and then I had ballet and stuff, this year I plan on going to bed before two, because I have point class, Nutcracker practice and other stuff to do on Saturday. But I still plan on staying up late, even though I’m already staying up until 10:30, or later on a regular bases.

Tapioca is from the Cassava plant, we use tapioca to make flour, and pretty much everything. The Nazca drawings are amazing, but they used math. Noooooooooooooo!!!!!! Art isn’t supposed to use math!!! The crazy 9-feet tall heads are amazing, most people are only five, or six feet tall! Just think if they had bodies!!!!!

We baby sat today, and it was soooooooooooooo long. At least when your trying to do school and the kid is crying and won’t stop unless he is eating, so he can’t deal with anything not being perfect unless he is eating all the time. I still haven’t finished last weeks school so it’s a good thing we’re having a quarter break next week, although it might destroy the point if I’m doing school the whole week. But at least then I won’t be behind. Mom and Dad say that we’re so smart we freak out and think it’s too hard if we have to put any effort into school. He said he should really bump us both up a grade so that we will stop getting A’s and B’s all the time, and so that we know how to do hard work, but I already struggle with some things, and I thought it was good to get A’s and B’s, so I don’t know what to think. Why can’t life be easy to understand?

Today I didn’t get much done, part of that was because mom is watching Reed’s friend today. And also another part of it is that it’s friday and I’m tiered of doing school. Another part of it is that some public schools are out because of the fair today, and teacher parent confrences, well as you know my parents are also my teachers and thay have already done the confrence.

Today in bible we finished colossians, in colossians we read that during Pauls first time in prison someone had been put in prison with him, there where also lot’s of greatings from other people. We also read all of Jude, Jude was Jesus’s half brother, I didn’t know that they had half brothers in Jesus’s time!!!

We read a really weird poem about earth worms. Yuck!!! We also read some  weird but sort of cool folk tales.

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.
