I AM THANKFUL! so blessed!
we are now halfway finished with our very first Classical Conversations cycle. if i were giving a review, it would be two thumbs up and a very big smile. the girls (ages 4 and 5) have LOVED it - and me too! i don't think i'm allowed to post the information that CC gives us to show you what the kids have learned, but it is substantial - and i couldn't be prouder of my girls working hard to learn it all.

we just finished week 12 and the conclusion of our space studies. so, after learning about the US Space Missions (mercury, gemini, apollo, shuttle), we decided to make our own spacecraft and fly it to the international space station (a.k.a. one of the girls) and out to a planet of our choice (a.k.a. me or one of the kids, and the planet was determined by what color shirt we had on (their doing, not mine! smarty-pants)). It was a blasting success. My little engineers and astronauts! (see...it's a good thing i keep trash around for projects like this when one needs an empty 2-liter bottle, toilet rolls, a take-out container, and recycled paper!)
The added touch was making little astronauts to ride in the spacecraft and then come out to explore (while still being safely tethered to the spacecraft). Too cute. My mistake was having them only make one spacecraft. oops! they have to share and go explore together!
we also had some "low-gravity" training at the local sky zone:
and we studied the moon phases with oreos...mmmm:
we also measured the solar system in toilet paper distances and used tons of books from the library and incorporated other pinterest CC ideas into our homeschool lessons. our history lessons of late have been a little war-intensive and bloody, so i opted for coloring sheets of napoleon, louis XVI, and marie antoinette instead of constructing our own guillotine and battlefield. but, they enjoyed singing about them! ha! i'm so thankful for my kids who make learning fun for us all!
