This is our first day of CC in August.  Hard to imagine life before Elsie Jane!

We had our last day of Classical Conversations yesterday.  There are 24 weeks in each cycle so we are usually done by April each year.  It is bittersweet.  Although we love the material and our friends, it is really nice to have Fridays open and some wiggle room in our school schedule.  Our family has learned so much this year.  Bella loves being in the nursery with her friends, playing with playdough, learning, and doing crafts. And she learned quite a bit of the material that Max was learning!  Max has learned so much about American history and geography.  He learned John 1:1-7 in English and Latin!  He had a presentation each week and among other things presented a biography of Pocahontas, the entire Gettysburg Address, and a dramatic interpretation of one of our favorite books, Going on A Bear Hunt.  He made a paper model of the human body, saw real pig lungs, and got a fun hands on introduction to chemistry. He learned to play the tin whistle, to identify different instruments in a classical music piece, and created some fun art masterpieces.  He loves his teacher, Mrs. Mundie and his classmates.  We will keep learning and reviewing alot of the CC material as we finish out our school year and we look forward to starting again next year!
