there are cards with letters on them and we have to say words that begin with the letters on the cards.

we also have space flash cards that show pictures of planets and on the back it shows the name of the planet. we also have flash cards with pictures of instruments on the front and on the back it has the name of the instrument.

We woke up at six thirty in the morning and then we got ready, and then our aunt came and picked us up at seven. And then we drove to the conference center and then we waited for an hour for the show to start.  And then this announcer came on and told us that we are not allowed to applaud for the first thirty minuets of the show. Because they were going to be recording it and selling the next year.  So there was a whole bunch of singing and dancing.  Alfie Boe sung a solo, and then this old man, the candy bomber, came on and told a story about someone who was in the war.  And then we listened to a few more songs. And then the screens had credits roll by, and when those were done rolling by everybody clapped.  Then we listened to abut thirty minuets more of singing and dancing. And then we hear Alfie Boe sing Bring him Home. And then they sung we wish you a Merry Christmas and then it was over.

We watched a movie about Jews in China and they come there on the silk road to China, I cant remember why.  We watched Brain Pop videos about the great wall of China.  It started out as a whole bunch of little walls and then they connected them. And the Great wall of china was a great protection for a long time. And then one time when there was an army attacking, one of the guards who stood at the gate opened it for the army.  Because the army said that they would pay him if he opened it.

We had a whole bunch of cinder blocks in our back yard and we were learning about Stonehenge.  Eva decided we should make a Stonehenge so we went out into the back yard and started building.  First we built a circle of upright cinder blocks. Then we laid the cinder blocks on top of the sideways.  

We dropped of Littleton at his cousins house. Then Mama drove us downtown and we went to the same  theater where we saw The Little Mermaid.  We came early so we got to see them put together the set.  And it was cool.  

We all got ready to go to the nativity with the cousins.  On our way there mom gave us a lesson on the 50's, 60's 70's and 80's.  When we got there we were afraid that we had missed it. We looked at nativities and then we found Carrie and she said it was starting again.  So we went inside and sat down and saw the nativity.  Afterwards we watched Carrie sing and then we went home. 

When we were at the doctors office we were all board so Papa started talking to us about atoms.  And how atoms effect the heat in the room.  He said that if there were a certain amount of atoms in our rooms, and if we sealed off everywhere, and then took out half of the atoms in the room it would get colder.  And if you did it again and again and again it would get colder until there were only two atoms left. Then if there were only two atoms left and you took away one it would be as freezing as the north pole. But if you took away the last atom there would be no temperature in the room.  If you add more atoms and more atoms it would make it hotter because the atoms would hit each other more often.
