Assessing our first year of Classical Dialectic Studies
Except for the classical history curriculum that created more work for me than solutions, I was quite happy with our other programs.
Historical Sewing and Time Travels
Except for the classical history curriculum that created more work for me than solutions, I was quite happy with our other programs.
When we toured the Focus on the Family facilities, the tour guide raved about Drive Thru History as an excellent resource, especially for homeschoolers.
For our Ancient Rome history presentation we welcomed extended family flew 1500 miles to join local extended family members as our guests.
After the play, the kids removed their masks and put on their Greek costumes. Meet the Greek family (with a son who was a Greek hoplite).
After studying Esther in the Bible, we reenacted the Feast of Purim like the Jews do, which coincided with the actual celebration.
After we ate, my kids took the guests on a tour through our homeschool museum of the various ancient cultures we had studied.
Phoenicia, famed for Cedars of Lebanon used to build Solomon’s Temple. was also famous for purple dye extracted from murex shells sourced in their harbor.
My son got super creative with his paragraph on Halley’s Comet, after studying Ancient Mesopotamia.
He created a slider and claslp for his comet pop up book.
Mom proclaims: This homeschool is not fluff! The rest of the family needs to come, and I’m going to tell them that. When is the next history presentation?
Amazed by all the things we learned with our classical dialectic history studies, that we invited our extended family to join our presentation.
