Another CC School Year Completed!

We joined the local Classical Conversations Community again this year....it was full of wonderful friends.  Liam had a Foundations class of nine boys.  They were all super silly (pizza anyone?), inquisitive, helpful, and enjoyed being with each other immensely.   (They were all fond of making any comment they had to include the word pizza in it!)

What an amazing group of girls....it's rare to find 10-12 year old girls who aren't going through pre-adolescent snobby like behaviors, but this group never displayed it.  10 Beautiful girls who all loved being together, supported each other and encouraged each other to be great.  Delaney loved going to CC for this class time (Foundations).  She made some wonderful friends!!  Left side top to bottom: Kayla Waters,Ainsley O'hanian, Delaney, Grace Walker,  Right side t-b: (you can just see her eyes) Kacy ,

Delaney's class rules:    1. NO BOYS!!
                                      2. You can't be allergic to sugar!
                                      3. All pets allowed.
                                      4. Everybody has to eat candy!
                                      5. Everybody should have parties.
                                      6. NO Bullying!  Be Nice!!
                                      7. Please eat at least 5 fruits and get at least an hour of exersize.
                                      8. Everybody has her own horse  AND  Must love Jesus!!

Memory work this year included American History, Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Latin, Math, Prepositions and Verb conjugations and our favorite  Timeline....we love the new timeline song.  It's a fun way to learn all those events and people.  Delaney's picture above is about the Boston Tea Party in 1773.

Liam's class display....each boy drew a picture about something they particularly like from all the memory work they learned this year.

Delaney presenting her paper about Pocahontas on the last day of class.

In the afternoon Delaney attended the Essentials class while Liam went to a child care class.  For different reasons, they both dreaded this time of the day.  Although Delaney tired hard to understand the concepts of the writing and grammar lessons, it was quite difficult.  I realized that she just needed to take things are a slower rate than was presented in the class.  I'm still not really sure why Liam hate his time in the "nursery" because he had some of his friends from the morning class and a huge bucket of Legos....what could be better.  (Probably hated the word nursery)
