12 Weeks Done

Yes, we had our last week of Classical Conversations this morning and although I am definitely going to miss the community I am glad we are in for a break. It was a fun and exhausting day, that started with a pancake breakfast along with some Tin Whistle performances by a few of the classes.  Little Knight's class performed Jingle Bells. They did a great job as did the other two classes that performed. The different morning start and probably the fact that it was the last day made for some very active children in class, but we were all able to get through it and actually enjoy our last day.

I am quite happy with the progress both Little Knight and Little Princess have made on their memory work. Little Knight asked me today if he still had a chance of participating in Memory Masters at the end of the year, and although I am not sure I want him to do that, I told him it was possible. So although we will not be attending CC for about 6 weeks we will continue to practice our Memory Work.

Here are some ways we review our work:

1. We use our Memory Board

2. The Radio game: This one was made up by my two little students. Basically Little Knight pretends to be a radio while reading the memory work from the Foundation guide and Litte Princess selects the week/ radio station and the subject/ song that the radio should play. He reads her the correct information and they repeat it.  Simple, but they love it.

3. iPad Cycle one app: My husband surprised us by purchasing this app and at first I thought we didn't really need it. Well we don't really need it, but it is sure fun to use and both kids enjoy doing Memory work this way.  I also like that we can take it with us.

4. Various Games: We have played games like rolling a dice to decide what we will recite next, we have also used a spinner we downloaded from the C3 website.

So along with our other school work we will continue to work on our Memory Work, and just when we return to our CC community we will have our own school break (except for attending CC)  just in time to celebrate the arrival of our Baby Girl, but that is a post for another time. :-)

Are you taking a CC break during the holidays?

Will you still be reviewing your Memory Work?
