Parent Practicums

I'm at the last day of the three day parent practicum for Classical Conversations, and when I find time, I will blog more about what I learned this week.

I am so thrilled that it has been great this year!

Teaching the Trivium

I've been reading Teaching the Trivium and I have thoroughly enjoyed the first four chapters.  Honestly, I feel like I could blog about something every page.  However, I will just write this for tonight.

"We first instruct the child in Knowledge or Grammar; then we guide the child in Understanding or Logic; and finally we challenge the child in Wisdom or Rhetoric." (emphasis added)

If you are interested in learning more about Classical Education and the reasons why you should homeschool, I would strongly urge you to read Teaching the Trivium and have your husbands read it as well, if they are willing.
