A Lesson in Photography.

 

 Today my mom taught me how to edit pictures I took. She had me take 10 pictures, and then we got to do the fun part: editing. Photography is a kind of art. You start by looking around you and looking at something you think is interesting, and then move it until it looks like a good picture. And then you get to edit it until it looks more colorful, or black and white. You can do so many things. Here is my art. I hope you like it.

Fall Fairy Wreaths.

I love the fall so I wanted to dress like a fall fairy. When my cousins were visiting I was making crowns for them, but I decided that the crowns would look much cooler if I added fall leaves. One of my favorite things about fall is all of the colors; there are so many different colors of the leaves. Another of my favorite things about the fall is making leaf forts and jumping on top of them. I also like the weather. To me the weather always feels just right.

The Start of Something New.

Ready for a new adventure....

Yesterday I finished my Creation to Christ school work!! And it was pretty big. It had tons of stuff in it. I feel really happy because I'm done with all of that work.I feel excited because I can be done and able to do more things with my time, like reading. I'm happy to be done with it, because now I will get to try something new. I really liked the science. I learned all about animals and zoology. There were lots of cool books I got to read. I love reading, so that was fun. My history book was called was called: Creation to Christ. I studied from when God created the world to when Christ was born. For the last two weeks I was reading John and Acts, and writing about them, and understanding those books. I'm glad that I'm home schooled because if I want a day off than all I have to do is do a little extra work, or if I'm sick for a day, I wouldn't miss anything. I'd like to go to school because I think it's fun to try new things, and I think APEX is fun and I think it might be nice to try a different way of school. Now that I'm done, I'm going to study about American History. And get ready for Daddy to be done with school and for us to move. It makes me feel excited. I love where we live, but I'm ready for a change. Soon it's going to be busy. It's going to be lots of changes. Big changes. I'm looking forward to summer. I'm going into middle school and I'm moving. I think change can be something in life that people need. Sometimes it's bad, but this time, I know it's good.
