It is almost noon and we just finished our last day of school for the school year. We ended on a high note, listening to the Queen of the Night's aria "Der Hoelle Rache brennt in meinem Herzen" from Mozart's Zauberfloete (The Magic Flute). We have been looking at, listening to, reading about and discussing the opera in music the last few days and Katharine and the rest of the gang have absolutely loved it!
In science we learned about Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor. It rounded out our unit on the respiratory and circulatory, nervous and digestive systems which Katharine loved and she can rattle off the parts and function of each system. A new website she discovered: kidshealth.org
Keep learning, big girl!
Well, it's time for our version of summer break. I achieved my goal of finishing the school year before Doescher baby number five is born. Our second grade supplies are already up on the shelf and ready for us to go whenever we decide the time is right.
A huge compliment to Lukas, Lennon and Keira who have hung in there with us everyday, participated in some areas such as art, history and science.
Katharine has done an outstanding job in each of her subjects, was very patient with me, who was not always very patient and again, showed great tolerance and patience with all the other noises and chaos that went on in the background. She is a real trooper and it's a great pleasure to teach her and see her grow on a daily basis. She rocks!
