Discovery Journal Unit Summaries!

-
Time passes so fast! It's so hard to believe that it's already the end of July!

We've all had a great summer studying the book of Psalms through the Bible Bee summer study.

In just one week, it'll be August 3rd, our Local Bee's Proclaim! Day.

And then, one week after that, it'll be... the Online Nationals Qualifying Test!!!


One way I love to review my Discovery Journal is by making summaries of each unit.

Unit 1:

Unit 2:
(I tried my best to scan this one, but I just couldn't get one without cut-off edges. So, I've decided to attach both below... xD)



Unit 3:


Unit 4:


Unit 5:


Unit 6:


Unit 7:

Happy Birthday, Anabel!!!

Happy Birthday to the BEST younger sister ever!!! Anabel, it's been such a blessing to have you in my life. I am so thankful and privileged to have you as my one and only younger sister. It was YOU who came into my life when I was an 18-month old baby. It was because of YOU that, at 18 months, I was promoted from the status of "baby of the family" to "older sister". You are such a wonderful companion, sister, and friend. We've talked and laughed so much together. As you enter this 13th year of your life, I pray that you will continue to honor God, seek Him, and bring His joy to those around you. And, of course, I  hope that we will celebrate many more birthdays together! Happy Birthday, Anabel!

Pets Surprise!

-
Image
         We just got back to China and now we already have 2 pets! Let me tell you the story of how it all happened.      First, Daddy received a messaged from a friend. I don’t remember the details, but our friend said that his friend did an environmental experiment on bunnies. His friend brought back one of the bunnies to keep as a pet in his school, but the school wouldn’t let him keep the bunny. So now, the bunny needed a home, and our friend asked if our family could take in the bunny. Sadly, Daddy said “no”.      On that very same day, Daddy, Anabel, Theodore, and I biked to the basketball court to play basketball. On our way back home, Theodore, Anabel, and I decided to bike a couple more rounds in our neighborhood before going back home. As I biked, I spotted a tiny black “thing” with-a-tail crawling slowly in the middle of the road. Quickly, I swerved my bike off the road to avoid colliding with th...

The Humming Bird Aviary (at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum)

On our way back to California from Texas, we visited the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum! My favorite part of the Museum was the Hummingbird Aviary.  Here are some pictures of the hummingbirds. Enjoy! This little bird was eating from the feeder: Hummingbirds come in all colors, including green! One of the best places to find hummingbirds is next to the feeders. More little hummingbirds... Hummingbirds are small and hard to spot, but it's fun to find them! The best surprise of all: A hummingbird nest!!!

The Taiwanese Market

Image
The Market in Taiwan is a very fun and exciting place to be in. It is a lot like the Shuk in Israel . The Market is noisy and crowded, and almost everything is sold there. You can find fruits, vegetables, purses, shoes, clothes, fish, noodles, pastries, hot pot, and even fresh clams and pig hooves! We visited the Market around Lunchtime, so we looked for hot food first. Below is Theodore eating the delicious sweet potato (the purple kind) pancake! The vendors made them on the spot, so they were fresh and hot. We bought 2 for 50 Taiwanese yuan. Roughly 30 Taiwanese yuan equals 1 US dollar. Mmm! We also ate egg pancake with cheese. Daddy ordered one with cabbage in it. The lady also made the egg pancakes on the spot! Each egg pancake was around 30 Taiwanese yuan. We also bought roasted duck for dinner! The vendor said that they've been making duck for 21 years already! Roasted duck vendor: Another vendor sold nuts and dried fruit. We...

Bits & pieces of the Old City of Jerusalem

The Old City of Jerusalem is a fascinating place to visit in Israel. There is too much to write about in the Old City of Jerusalem than can be contained in one blog post. In this blog post, I will just be writing about the interesting bits & pieces of the Old City of Jerusalem. Jerusalem lies in the center of 3 continents of the world: Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Old City of Jerusalem lies at the very heart of Jerusalem, the center of the center of the world. Let's begin our journey at the most impressive part of the Old City - the city walls. The city walls of the Old City of Jerusalem were very important in ancient times. The walls of the Old city are 5 to 15 meters tall, and stretch for approximately 4.5 km. The wall is also 3 meters thick (10 feet) at its base. Even to the modern eye, Jerusalem's walls are very impressive! Think about how the people of the ancient times would see the walls! Walls provided a sense of protection to a city. Wi...

Popsicles in Taiwan!

More about Taiwan... We got to eat delicious home-made popsicles in Taiwan! Popsicles are one of the special local products in this part of Taiwan.  Below is Theodore and I in front of the popsicle store: The word in front of the store,  "冰",  is pronounced "bing" . It means "ice", and it can stand for cold desserts like ice cream, shaved ice, and popsicles.. Each of us chose a different flavor!  Daddy chose durian , Mommy chose taro , Catherine chose pineapple , Anabel chose milk , Theodore chose black sugar , and I chose passion fruit . We were very happy that we could find one that Theodore could eat (he has allergy)! Daddy finished first, and then Catherine! Anabel and Theodore took their time and finished last! :) The popsicles were SUPER delicious!!! Below are the wrappers of all our popsicles (except for Daddy's). Can you spot the Chinese Character "冰" "bing" on the popsicles?

Playgrounds in Israel

We got to visit lots of playgrounds in Israel! They are different from the ones in the U.S. and they are really fun! This playground was in the Old City, Jerusalem.  The swing was really fun! The park was really fun! You could slide down and also climb up! Sliding down! There were also two long blue slides! We also got to visit two parks in Tel Aviv. The first park was like an amusement park. It had like 20+ swings! This park also had two of the swings that we saw in Jerusalem! This park also had a giant playground with at least 12 slides! There was something that you could go on and it would take you down to the ground! Near this park in Tel Aviv was another park. It was really fun, too. On our last night in Tel Aviv, we also visited a park next to the beach! I hope you had a great time reading this post!

Israel

Image
On our trip to Israel, we flew on an Israeli airline called EL AL. Our first meal had pasta, chicken, pita bread (delicious!), grapes, potato chips, a slice of chocolate cake, and a drink.  After fifteen hours on the airplane, we landed in Israel.  As soon as the airplane touched the ground, almost everyone in the plane shouted and clapped.  Was it because our airplane stayed safe (and in the air) throughout the whole flight? We went through the customs, got our three tiny luggage (each less than 2 feet tall and 1 foot wide) from the baggage claim, and exited the airport.  The ride to the apartment where we would be staying was quite long.  However, I happened to be sitting next to my brother, who is both a very good comedian and a very good storyteller.  For the whole ride I sat listening to his entertaining story of animals (deer, cows, horses, skunks, and rabbits). At last, we arrived at our apartment building.  We...

Up in the Mountains of Fuzhou!

-
Image
This week, we went up to a mountain in Fuzhou with some friends. Our friends have a cabin in the mountain, and they raise chickens.    The chickens range in color from black, brown, yellow, to white.  During the day, the chickens run free. At night, they return home and sleep in the trees near the house. Yes, the chickens sleep in the trees! There are many roosters in the flock of chickens. Below is one of them. The picture is a little bit blurry because the rooster is always running around and never stands still. They also have 3 dogs. The mama dog is 9 years old, and she has two sons. One son is 6, and the other is 1-2 years old.  The 6-year old dog is the most brave dog, and he likes to eat sweet potatoes. The mama dog is the most shy. In the picture below, the yellow-white dog is the 6-year old dog, and the darker one is the 1-2 year old dog. Our friends served us delicious home-grown baked sweet potato to eat! We ate them next to th...
