Heute habe ich zum letzten Mal meine Deutschstudentin unterrichtet. Das Semester ist zu Ende. Die Studentin muß noch eine Klausur schreiben, aber die zu korrigieren wird nicht so lange dauern. Peter hat noch mündliche Prüfungen übrig und muß noch viel korrigieren. Die Noten müssen Ende nächster Woche abgegeben werden.
Flora has been doing a lot of botany. Today we learned about the violet and she drew one into her main lesson book. I have to take pictures of her work! She also has been working with geometrical shapes, identifying them, weighing them, and constructing a bar graph.
Flora macht im Moment viel in Botanik. Heute haben wir uns mit dem Veilchen beschäftigt. Sie hat eins in ihr Heft gemalt. Ich muß das unbedingt fotografieren! Wir haben auch geometrische Körper benannt, sie gewogen und aus den Ergebnissen ein Säulendiagramm erstellt.

Veronika has started a main lesson on the development of drama. We read "Antigone" and are now reading "As You Like It." We are also reading about Shakespeare using this book. It is quite good. For the Greek drama, Veronika colored this theatrical mask from Sybille. All masks are available for free on her site!
Veronika macht eine Hauptepoche über die Entwicklung des Dramas. Wir haben Antigone gelesen und lesen jetzt "Wie es euch gefällt" von Shakespeare. Wir lesen auch etwas über Shakespeare. Für das griechische Drama hat Veronika diese Theatermaske von Sybille angemalt. Man kann sie hier kostenlos herunterladen.
Miriam is doing a main lesson on philosophy. We are using several sources, the main one is the online lecture series by R.C. Sproul: The Consequences of Ideas. It is perfect for a high school overview of philosophy. She is also finishing her little booklet about Transcendentalism, which she has started earlier this year.
Here are her radishes she planted with Flora: The ones under a black box grew faster, although they stayed yellow at the beginning. We now took the box off and they turned green.
Hier sind ihre Radieschen von dem Biologieexperiment: Die Samen unter der schwarzen Kiste sind schneller gewachsen, doch gelb geblieben. Wir haben jetzt die Kiste abgenommen und sie sind grün geworden.
Charlotte is almost done with finals and will come home on the weekend. She has also received her second vaccine.
Charlotte ist fast mit den Abschlußklausuren fertig und kommt am Wochenende nach Hause. Sie hat jetzt auch ihre 2. Impfung bekommen.
Jonathan is wrapping up his senior year. He had an honors convocation and received an award for academic excellence. No guests were aloud, but we could watch the convocation online. It was in the basilica of SVC.
Jonathan ist bald mit seinem letzten Semester fertig. Am Mittwoch haben die Studenten mit den besten Leistungen einen Preis bekommen. Es fand in der Kirche bei St. Vincent statt, aber Gäste waren nicht zugelassen. Wir haben online zugeguckt.
Jonathan coming up to get his award.
Jonathan erhält seine Urkunde.
We are very proud of him! 💜
Wir sind auf ihn sehr stolz! 💗
Well done Johnathan all that hard work and legacy from num and dad with the homeschooling has paid off, there’ll be no stopping you!! Hope Charlotte’s finals go well and lovely work as always from the younger end of the A Team Crew xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, San. Yes, all the sacrifices, planning, and teaching did pay off. We have had ups and downs, but it all worked out. Commencement will be in two weeks and Peter and I will be able to attend it. Charlotte is coming home tomorrow. Thanks for the kind words about the girls' work. We have had quite a productive school year. Next school year, I will be officially only teaching two children! Miriam will have to finish some things, but I don't have to hand in anything for her anymore. She just has to take the SAT for college entrance.
DeleteCongratulations! This is wonderful. Enjoy the Commencement! And it must be nice to have Charlotte home again now :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! We are looking forward to it. We were now allowed to get 4 tickets for it and 2 tickets for the Mass on Friday. Yes, it is nice to have Charlotte home again.
