Today we went on a field trip to Adi’s gymnastics and then to a store that was closing so everything was on a 25% off sale. We got some really good candy there. We also got a ton of gluten free cake, brownie, pancake, and muffin mixes. We also got a lot of frosting. After we got home and put all of that away and had lunch ect ect, a homeschooling neighbor came over and did school with us. We did 15 minutes of work and then five minutes of playing. It was so much more efficient! I was more focused and got a lot more done, and we also got to play! I think it will be awesome for school if we do 30 minutes of work, five of play tomorrow! I am 1/4 of the way done with math for the year already!! It is going by so fast!

I had to do a Review for “lessons” one through four in Wordly Wise today. I was hard, I had to do a two and a half page hidden word with my vocabulary words and sometimes other random “common knowledge.” I learned what mono means in vocabulary today. Mono means one, or single.

Saccot was a ton of fun!!! I can’t wait until next year! Today I finished the really hard language arts I had. It took a long time to do. Even though mom helped me with an awesome method on how to do it that was so much easier! I also did cooking, for cooking I made dinner for Daddy and me. I learned some about dutch oven cooking at Saccot too. We went on a field trip to the chiropractor today. As usual it took a long time. I got a letter from my Grandma that I will refer to as Grandma J.

Today we went on field trip to mom’s womens study. It was fun, we played in there playroom. (It was at a family friends house.) But, between that, playing a game of chess, and going to the library I didn’t get all of my school done. After I got back from ballet, ate dinner, and showered I did more school so all I have left to do tomorrow is math, Bible, and electives.

In English I learned more about character development. I learned about all the ways they make the characters seem real. How they act, react, how others talk about them, and how others act towards them all make them seem more real and add up to make their character. So it is sort of more complicated than just describing them in more detail.

Yesterday we didn’t finish school. Today we are sick. I have a sore throat and had a fever and might still have one. I did some math but that was pretty much it. Math was very hard.

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.
