Short Stuffs first two weeks of Senior year

Hello followers of Short Stuff!
I first off want to Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. I hope you enjoy reading it and following Short Stuff on her fun and exciting adventures that her Savior Jesus Christ takes her on.
As you have probably read I am now a Senior! ( I know its crazy how fast time flies) I will be talking about the classes I am attending and saying a little about what I am learning.
In my schooling I am taking a life class. In this class I learn about good hygiene and a what it means to have a good clean environment. Its a good life skill learning class. If I am going to live on my own I am going to have to know those skills. Those skills include laundry and keeping the house clean and learning more about appearance and appropiate clothing etc. So thats what I am learning in that class. 
The next class I am studying is History. In this class I am learning about the Holocaust. I am learning how many of the Jews got killed because there leader Adolf Hitler didnt like the Jews or anyone who didn't meet his expectations. He also sent people to Concentration Camps which was a painful place to be. It was pretty much a place of death because lots of people died in the Concentration camps.Thats what Short Stuff is learning in History.I also am reading a book called "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry. Check it out sometime its a great book. 
Another class I am taking is Math. This class is learning about money and how to use it and save it. Also during school I make a meal for my family and I learn also about meal planning and how to spend my money by only using $10.00  to buy the ingredients for that meal. So thats my math class.
 I am also taking a technology class. In this class I learn about what a computer is and how it works and the history of the computer. I am also learning who invented the first computer and people who built computers. Its a fun class its also very interesting. 
I am also doing activities such as This Day in History. For this class I go to this certain website and on this website it has the date and what happened on that day a long time ago. Its cool! Right now in this class I am learning about Pompeii and the devastating volcano that erupted on August 24, 79 A.D The most interesting thing I learned about this was that ono the last stage of the Volcano it went down the volcano at 300 mph and the temperature reached as high as 400 degrees. (Thats HOT!!) It was a devastating time for the people in Pompeii because mostly everyone was killed by the debris and the ash. Some were even burned alive.
 I am also doing a thankful Journal. Everyday I write something I am thankful for and why I am thankful for it. So thats pretty much what I did my first two weeks of Senior year. I am really excited to see what my teachers have in store for me in the weeks and months ahead. 
Even though I am in school I also get to spend time with my niece and nephew and I get to watch them grow and I get to know them better personally. I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post. If you are in school I hope God blesses you this year as ou go about learning and having another fun filled year. I am very thankful to have people read my blog. Heres a verse I want to share with you its about giving thanks to our Lord for all He has done for us.
Ephesians 5:20
Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Blessings to everyone reading this blog!
May God bless you and keep you!

Short stuff is now a SENIOR!!!!!!!!

Short Stuff's first day of Senior year!
It's that time of year again school starts back up! Short stuff had her first day of being a senior! It went great! Learned what the expectations were for me as a student! Got to learn about the Holocaust which I will learn more throughout the course of the year. Got to count some money today for math. Explored a website called Brainpop which I think is a great learning tool. You can find it at www.brainpop.com. So after school went shopping for a couple hours. Then came home had dinner and now just chilling. Then tomorrow begins day 2 of being a senior. I will try and update as much as possible just to keep you all up to date how Short stuff is doing in school. Hope you all had a great summer!
Blessings to all
Short Stuff
