Our 2014-2015 Curriculum Choices

Memory Work – First and foremost, we will be focusing on our Memory Work.  Every year when I evaluate what really stuck with my kids and what they can then use to apply to new understanding, the Memory work stands out high above other forms of learning in the grammar stage.  In addition to our CC memory work, we will be memorizing the following things primarily using resources that connect it to song.  For our CC memory work, I also choose to download … [Read more...]

Plan vs. Reality….a Look at What Really Happened…

The Question

The Question: Teaching Your Child the Essentials of Classical Education Who would have guessed that a book based on the premise of asking questions would answer so many? In January, I mentioned my plan to attack a list of books, most (but not all) of them stemming from the Challenge program of Classical Conversations. The Question is the first of the books on this list related to the Classical Model of education, and I was excited to dive into it. The book begins with a brief … [Read more...]

It was in the wide open air - at an outdoor theater in my early 20's that I first realized something was missing. A man I was dating (and later would marry) took me to see "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at an outdoor theater in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It was … [Read more...]
