The best of my Roman Gladiator Journal -- 03-08-12

2012-03-08T06:11:29-05:00

The past few weeks of social studies we have been working on our Roman Gladiator Journals. In this entry I will be posting my favorite and best paragraphs of my journal.

Once I was done training with wooden swords, it was time for him to introduce me to all the real gladiator equipment. When I tried on all the equipment, I felt very overwhelmed. Domitius was training me to be a retarious therefore I had some of the most equipment out of all the eleven gladiator styles. I use a trident, which is very helpful when I need to stab someone in the side, a net to capture my opponent, a dagger, and a left arm shoulder guard. The retarious gladiators are confident in the fact that they only have one piece of actual armour. What they do have though are good weapons.

I wish so much to have my old Roman life back. I miss my childhood hometown house in Domus with marble walls, cream stone floors, and inviting heated furnace. I remember my mother loved spending time at the bathhouse and she owned a small shop that sold Roman desserts. My father got so excited to see the chariot races. My marriage was arranged by my father, and I did not approve of the girl he chose, although I didn’t have a choice. Although my life has not gone as planned, I have learned a lot and am blessed to have gone through what I have.

Math module 1 -- 11-04-11

2011-11-04T13:22:13-05:00

Dear Mom,
In math we have finally finished Module 1. By the way, a module is a whole section that has a bunch of different lessons in it. Our first lesson was...

Bar and line graphs. I liked this section, because it was fairly easy, and kind of fun. Our home work that we had on this asked us questions about what was selling the most, to what kids like to eat the most at lunch. Next lesson was...

Patterns and predictions. This was a little more challenging for me. You would have a table (math table) with numbers in it. You then have to figure out what the pattern is, and complete the table. Our next lesson was...

Exponents, squares, and cubes. Let's start with exponents. Exponents are for example 3², or 3 to the 2nd power. So for this exponent the answer would be 9. I got that by multiplying 3*3.

Those are 3 of our lesson from module 1. Hope you enjoyed!!

Love your amazing daughter,

My GORGEOUS Eye ;p -- 09-12-11

Have you ever looked in the mirror at your eye when you turn the lights off? Well, if you haven't, then you're missing out on a really cool opportunity :).

When you first turn off the ligths before you go to bed, your pupil larges in size!! :O This happens because your eye needs to work harder to see in the dark. And your pupil shrinks very quickly when you turn the lights on in the morning, because your eyes havn't been used to the light. Very cool stuff, I know.
