My Little Classical Conversationalists!


This school year, I've decided to try something new with the two little B's. On Monday mornings, the three of us will join several other Christian, classically-minded homeschoolers in Classical Conversations (CC). I am AMAZED at the volume of things that will be presented for them to learn this year. It'll be interesting to see just how much they digest and truly commit to memory. For those of you familiar with Veritas Press History Cards...they/we will be (attempting) to memorize all FIVE sets...a total of 180 snippets of chronological history! Along with this, we'll be studying science and math facts, English and Latin grammar, art and music appreciation, and geography. We have had two weeks of CC already, and I am in awe at how these little, fresh brains can absorb facts.

Listening to his tutor...

We have been learning about Ancient Egypt in CC, and the kids LOVE it (all except the scented cones of fat worn on their heads at feasts...Brock proclaimed that to be "disgusting"). So, we decided to take a "field trip" to a local museum that has a small Ancient Egypt section...including a mummy (another "disgusting" facet of Ancient Egypt)!

Random fun at the museum...


My 4 very precious B's :o)
Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;
By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Proverbs 24:3 and 4
