5 girls, 4 boys. I'm ready to rock.
Classical Conversations is a weekly meeting 9-12 (Foundations) for kids K4-6th grade. It covers memory work- lots of it, subjects included are timeline (Creation through Modern America), History Sentence facts, math (multiplication tables, equations), Latin, English Grammer, Science facts. Additionally there is a Science experiment weekly and fine arts as well. My favorite portion is always the presentation time where each child in a class presents on something. Anything. It can be as random as the creator of Atari or simply a classical composer.
We participated last year and quite frankly I was overwhelmed til maybe March when I decided I want to join the teaching staff. I tend toward the "all or nothing" side of the commitment continuum.

Honestly though it was great- There was a lot I had to get in order but it was worth it. We loaded the car at 8 and came home exhausted at 1. My students are hilarious. They are 6-7 year olds. Celia and Bennett are in classes on either side of mine, so I hope to have Bennett next year.
It seems like it will be a great year- we are very thankful to have some new friends at CC this year- the Garrisons, the Parrishes, the Raus. Community has been what I've prayed for since the beginning of homeschooling. The Lord is answering in abundance this year. I'm so grateful.

Its a gift to be entering my 3rd year homeschooling. I hope to share more soon on my day to day life schooling at home. Its what I do most of the time, but it rarely gets true airtime. I know some days it will seem more like a rant than a rave, but that's life. This year I can say without a doubt that my house will be messier than it ever has and I might never get the laundry folded, but He will carry us through. He is faithful.
