This year, in our ongoing homeschooling adventure, we have joined a Classical Conversations group. CC, for short, is a group of homeschooling families who meet once a week. We follow a classical model of education and in addition to our regular subjects at home, study specific information for each week. We teach our children the tools of learning as they proceed through the grammar, rhetorical, and logical stages. Our CC curriculum includes math, science, English grammar, Latin, history, geography, fine arts, and presentation skills.

Carter's class looking at the skeleton and learning the names of the bones.
Kids assembling the skeleton with a series of x-rays.
Reciting their American history memory work while having their own Boston Tea Party...
Carter's history presentation on Iwo Jima...
Learning about how tendons work manipulating actual chicken feet...
Learning about how the nervous system send messages...
Exploring sheep brains. (It was very interesting that all the girls jumped right in and the boys all stood back)...
We have had a great first month and the kids are learning so much already. We are excited to be a part of this group and are looking forward to many more learning adventures and fun memories ahead!

Thanks, Amber, for this peek inside CC! We are considering homeschooling (in several years) and I love to get all the info I can!
