What I Learned This Week

I learned about Xerxes I, Esther, and the golden age of Athens in history. I learned about columns when I was reading about the golden age of Athens. Here's some info about Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns:

Doric columns:

The Doric column is the oldest and simplest Greek style.

Ionic columns:

Ionic columns are identified by scroll-shaped ornaments at the capital that resemble rams horns.

Corinthian columns:

Corinthian columns are the latest of the three Greek styles.

I think columns are interesting. The more syllables in the word, the fancier the column. Corinthian columns are very fancy. They have swirls and a feathery design, there's even a little flower carved into the bundle of feathers near the capital( the capitals are the tops of the columns ).

I learned how to write most, important, makes, continue, many, and deep in cursive. I am using a new math book( you must think I did ten pages a day, right? Nope. Only two. It was only 34 pages long! ).

I am still reading The Hobbit. I am doing narration, too. I read A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like to read in bed, too. I just finished a Magic Treehouse book last night called Season of the Sandstorms. The reading I do in school is really, really, REALLY different than the reading I do in bed, VERY different!!!!!
