Classical Conversations

Last night, The Gals and I (along with Wonderful Husband) had a meet and greet with the Classical Conversations homeschooling group I joined this year. I have to admit I have been having doubts about the decision to join this group. They moved our meeting day from Tuesdays to Fridays - which I had planned on being our Fun Day. Then, they moved our meeting location from my home church to a new church for budget reasons. Every time I turned around, it seemed like there was something popping up telling me to get out. But, after meeting all these people last night and being reminded of how wonderful this program is, there is no doubt in my mind that I have made the right decision for us. I had visited a group in the spring, and had forgotten how much I enjoyed it, and how much I think The Gals will benefit. There are eight kids in the Journeyman group The Gals are in - six of whom are girls. And, they will be giving presentations to their class every week and doing a family presentation to the group probably twice this year. I love that! I have always hated speaking in front of a group (yes, I do it now all the time, but it took me 40 years to get to this point). I am sure starting this at a young age will help them to be come the wonderful, powerful women God has planned them to be.

We have been working hard this week. I am really liking most of the supplemental curriculum I picked. It is pretty cool teaching Language Arts and using David and Goliath as our story. Or, watching The Gals learn the concept of multiplication.

I am excited to see how this year goes.
