You will now see what I learned today in each of my subjects, except math, because I didn't do it today. I'll write small bits out of the text, so you can get a gist! Anyways, here we go!
Social Studies : The Boston Massacre
On March 5, 1770, in Boston, Massachusetts,
a tragic even occurred. A young boy offended
one of the British army officers quartered in
Boston by calling out, "There are no gentlemen among the officers!"
A nearby soldier came and knocked the boy down with his musket.
The boy began shouting that he had been struck by the soldier.
Angry colonists gathered and started a riot by throwing snowballs and
pieces of ice at the soldiers.
I, personally, think the boy's remark is hilarious! And the colonists started throwing snowballs! :) Maybe that's where snowball fights go started! (?) Moving on.
Science: Ocean Layers
Light penetrates through approximately the first 330 feet of sea water.
Water plants that make their food by photosynthesis live here in abundance.
The sunlit layer receives most of the sun's heat; water temperatures average
from about 82* F at the equator to 2* F at the poles. The sunlit region also
houses corals, clams, starfish, and multitudes of food fish that feed on plants.
Most of the oxygen in the sea is found withing 600 feet of the ocean's surface.
To breathe, fish and other forms of sea life filter this oxygen from the water
with their gills.
Right. Because I have always wanted to know how fish breathe.. ?..Yeah... Thanks. It does come in handy when I have to fill spaces out, though.
English : Can't Think of A Title
Every verb has four principle parts, which we must learn. They are called the
present, present participle, past and past participle.
We will learn that the principal parts are used to form the six verb tenses and
to show progressive time.
The present participle of a verb is the only verb that ends in ing. It is always used with a state-of-being helping verb.
Almost none of this makes much sense to me, but I do pretty well in check-ups, so
I guess it's helpful.
Bible : The Method of The First Advent
Hundreds of years before the actual advent of Christ, the Old Testament prophets told that
Christ was to be born of a virgin from the family of David. This unique way in which the Savior
of the world arrived upon the earth will now be examined. The Bible contains many verses that
foretold the birth of Jesus. God judged Adam and Eve because of their willful disobedience to God's law, and He cursed the serpent, Satan. He cursed the devil (Genesis 3:15). God then gave a specific word of how this event would occur by telling Satan that his defeat would come through the seed of the woman. The devil would manage to bruise the heel of Jesus by His crucifixion.
There is your VIP tour to my schoolbooks (Ooh! Aren't you special.) The secrets to my unmistakably perfect grammar (LOL, JK), how I know the secret to how fish breathe, how snowball fights started, and my Biblical studies of the First Advent. Pretty cool, eh?
Hope you're ready for the pop quiz, LOL! ; )
Well, I have had more than enough school today, so, I am going to relax and enjoy my no-school freedom while I can, because I start again tomorrow. Yea.

This new template is so wonderful! I am a bookworm and so when I saw this I had to get it! It was so easy, and I did it on my own. (NOTE: If you all hate it, it is easy as pie to change it back to black.)
My favorite things in life,
Some are big and some are small.
But the most important thing,
Is how much I love them all!
1. God- I'm glad that I can rely on Him for everything. And that when there is a storm, I can go and hide in Him. He tops the list.
2. Family-Even though we have just about the strangest life in the universe, they are always there for me and show me their love. Some in hugs, some in practical jokes. I love them!
3. Friends- They are angels and are about the greatest comforts in the history of the world! They are so important to me, and I make more every where I go.
4. Animals- I could almost not survive without them! Even if they are not my own, I treat them with care and respect. They are a joy and a comfort to me. And they're so delicate and sweet.
5. Books- There is just something so inviting and warm about them. They are great! And anyone who says the opposite, either there is something wrong with them or they are weird. Love You!
6. Life's Necessities- I'm glad we can take showers. And eat off of clean dishes. And sleep in a comfy bed and we can wear clothes! That is just wonderful in itself. Think about it!
7. Venezuela- I enjoyed every minute I spent there, and all of my friends still are awesome. The church was so great, and it was the greatest place ever. Until *cartoon fanfare* Chavez came along!
8. Blogger- I'm glad that I can get on here and tell you all about my day and how my life is going. It is also awesome to read how YOUR day was going.
9. Food- I love it because I don't have to worry about it's slight disadvantages. I have a fast metabolism so however much I eat? That's how much I lose! It's great, ain't it?
10. School- I am glad I am not an unintelligent Floridiot! (Notice this is the one all the way at the bottom!)
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog!
Love,
Jayde

I love starting a new year. There is just something about feeling motivated and fresh. We started New Years same as 98% of America's population. You know the drill: Watch the ball drop in Times Square, yell 'HAPPY NEW YEAR!!' Shoot fireworks, play crazy games and eat delicious appetizers like nachos and cookies. We did that. Then, yesterday I got my very own brand new bedspread at JCPenney's. And was an eye-witness of a robbery! I was standing there with my mom while my dad and my sister brought the car up close to the door so that we didn't have to walk all the way through 42 degree weather. Two young girls stood near the store alarm near the main entrance and one called on her cellphone. I know what you're thinking: Nothing different there. Teenagers live on cellphones, big deal, Jayde! Well, wait! Then, a car pulled up and, clutching their EXTREMELY huge coats (stuffed with goodies, I would imagine), they ran through the front door and set the beeper going about 4 times. If I hadn't been in shock, I would have chased them or something, but there I stood dumbfounded. Watching as they ran and jumped in the car. Wow!
Great way to start the new year. It drives me nuts how people think they can just steal something! I've even seen things in Wal-Mart! People just rip the silver tags off of a cute piece of jewelry and walk right out. Right passed me! I usually glare at them and they glare back. But, MAN!!!
In Venezuela, I watched as a man pulled his computer lap-top into the airport. He handed it to his daughter who was sleepy-eyed and tired. (I don't blame her. It was 3:30 in the morning!) He said clearly, "Cuida esto, y no miras a ninguna otra cosa!" For those of you who don't have any idea what I said and are reading that phrase over and over again with blank faces, that means "Watch this, and don't look at anything else!" Clear words, right? Well, unfortunately, she didn't seem to care, leaned and fell back on a suitcase and went to sleep! I watched as a man with a striped shirt on walked inside. He looked around for a minute. Then waved to absolutely no one in the hallway. Wierd. Then he walked right next to the girl, pretended to look at his watch, (which he wasn't wearing) waited a few minutes, picked up the bag and walked right out the door to a black car waiting for him, and climbed right inside. Who do people think they are!?
I have a lot of resolutions. For those of you who know me, know that I am not the neatest person in the world. I can just picture my mom and Jackie saying, "DUH! I had to live with you all your life!"
My First Resolution is : Keep my things tidy.
My Second Resolution is : Do better in my math. (Probably won't happen, but, hey, it's worth a try!)
My Third Resolution is : (You'll LOVE this one!) To blog more!
I hope I can keep them...
I mentioned earlier the cutest bedspread. Here It Is!!!
