I am so excited about Cycle 2 with Classical Conversations! When I first considered CC a few years ago and visited a classroom, it was so foreign to grasp the idea of the "memory pegs" - this type of "filing system" created by the memory work. I distinctly remember telling the Director that it all seemed somewhat "random" this simple memorizing of random facts, with no deep content. She described the memory pegs like a coat hook where … [Read more...]

Digging Deeper into CC at Home

So I tend to search for more information from home. There is a ton of information right within the Foundations Guide. If you have only flipped to the memory work sections, you are … [Read more...]

Memory Masters
My oldest two kiddos are 6 & 8. Last year when they were 5 & 7, they both wanted to do Memory Masters. While I was excited about their willingness to try something difficult at such a young age, I knew that meant I had a lot of work in my future to help prepare them. Since they were so young, I set in my heart that we would work diligently together as long as they were interested, and tried to encourage them. If at any time they lost interest, I was ok with that. They both … [Read more...]
