End of the School Year

Some end of the year highlights:

Katherine won the technology award for 3rd grade! She was as surprised as me. I told her sometimes it was nice to get an award for things that just came naturally to you.

Katherine completed her Mini-Society Unit. She created a product (purses) and sold them at the market, and made a profit. At first she thought that charging more than what your raw materials cost was not fair, then we had a long talk about free markets and feeding your children and it made more sense to her. I think teaching capitalism might be illegal in Venezuela - but since we are not recognized as a "real" school by the government, we can get away with it.

Madeline graduated from Kindergarten! It was so cute, as they had the stage dressed up exactly as they did for the High School Graduation. When they enter first grade (through 5th) they wear white shirts instead of red, so here she is receiving her white shirt

Beautiful Madeline in her new white shirt, and graduation cap.
