Whew!!! Now What?


We have finished our Classical year so now what?? For those of you who wonder what Classical is you can visit www.ClassicalConversations.com. I say we have finished our Classical year because we never finish "schooling". After this past year I have realized that focusing on our math and writing during the summer and winter breaks would really help to take the pressure off of squeezing it in. Quality is much more achievable when we can take the time to really savor and digest the information that I am teaching and the boys are absorbing.
I have really enjoyed watching Clayton this past year grow and meet new friends. To see him push himself and to watch as something he struggled with finally clicks. What a blessing this time in my life is!!!
I would like to review our Classical year, I hope you enjoy!!
