Band Concert / Wax Museum Project

Lucy got the opportunity to try the flute this year.  They had their one and only concert last week.  It was so fun seeing her practice and try something new.  She wasn't a big fan of playing and practicing.  She seemed to always be out of breath and felt whoosy if she went on too long.  She opted out of continuing with it next year.  She's going to be in the choir instead. 

She looks so grown up to me in this picture with her new braces.  
Lucy has a cute group of friends here in Sigonella.  Some of them were in band, too.

 Last week she also completed her Wax Museum Project.  I thought this was just something done here, but apparently, lots of people have done them in the states, too.  She researched a woman from the Revolutionary War period, Lydia Darragh.  She warned Washington's troops of a British plan to launch a surprise attack.  Apparently her role played an essential part in America's victory.  
She had to dress up and memorize a short speech to share every time someone pushed the button on the table.   Her friend, Sammie, helped me find her when I got to the school.  




It's hard to believe that this sweet girl will be in middle school next year.  Lucy is such a responsible, caring, and sensitive girl and I am proud to be her mom.  She makes me laugh daily and I love it when she gets in her goofy moods and lets herself be silly every once in a while.
