Exciting Mommy Moment

Yesterday was our first review day after CC started on Friday last week.  My parents came over to visit that evening and my Mom asked SM how school had been that morning.  SM pulls out our CC trifold board and reads off all of the subject.  Pulls out the US map and points out the 5 states and capitals that we learned and then tries to quiz my parents.  We have definitely come a long way.  SM would not "perform" for others at all last year.  She always knew the materials, but was reluctant to show others what she was learning.  This makes me so excited!!!

Classical Conversations Tri-fold Board

This is our tri-fold board for the weekly memory work for Classical Conversations.  I made my own timeline cards that are across the top.  I have page protectors for the other parts: history, latin, grammar, science, math, geography, fine arts, and Bible verse.  I printed an image to go with each history sentence as well.  We spend about 20 minutes each day reviewing the memory work on the board.  Occasionally I have worksheets or books that supplement the memory work and we do that later.  I try to find books from the library to supplement each week.  We also have a notebook for the memory work (that will be a different post).
