First day of school here. I have to say - I absolutely loved it. We started CC this morning and I had so much fun watching them learn and interacting with other children. Kaiden was so excited this morning and it carried him through the entire morning. He was so funny to watch in class and if there was an award for participation he definitely would have won it. One of the things I am thankful for is the opportunity for Kaiden to learn how to act in a classroom setting. You know with homeschooling you are always the one to answer the question, you can talk when you have something to say and you don't have to sit and listen to other children talk.
They started off the morning with an opening where all the children are together and then they break up into the different classes and then rotate through the subjects. Kaiden loved Latin the most but they also did science, geography, art, history and math.
It was really fun for me to just be in their classes, talk with other moms and feel like I was in a community.

My church hosts a homeschooling co-op so for a long time I thought I'd participate in that even though I have some reservations about how it would mesh with a classical approach. I've been looking at CC ever since you first mentioned it, though, and it sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. I look forward to hearing more about how it goes with your kids.
Emily, I think you are my homeschooling muse. :) Thanks for posting so many thoughts and ideas on the subject.
It is so funny to see all the cc material! I've been preparing with the same stuff the past couple weeks. I'm actually teaching the abecedarian class this year. I'll be curious to see how you like it ad the year goes on. We are a week behind you and start orientation tonight.
It's fun to see some similarities in what we are doing for school this year! Sydney will be starting CC tomorrow morning, and with Lauren I am doing FLL, Math U See, and Writing with Ease. We only started everything this week, but so far it has been great!
Love, Jamie
It is so fun for me that ya'll are with me on this journey. It is an encouragement to know that we are in this together. Did any of you read The Core by Leigh Bortins? It was really good and quite inspiring. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Emily,
We have a CC group meeting in our new church. I plan to help them. I am just getting to know the program and I just love it. I am thrilled that your children are doing it.
