First Bites

done for today

I've waited, with all the children, until they are 6 months to introduce solid foods. 

With both Abigail and Hadassah we started with avocado 

(which is the perfect first food with good fat and nutrients 

and soft texture so they can both be fed and try for themselves).  

After a few days of avocado, Asher is now trying banana. 

Then we will try/test foods by color (rainbow order), alternating fruits and vegetables.

Asher is crawling (quickly!) all over and has started pulling up on things and even trying to stand on his own!

(and some 12 month) size clothes.  

He is happy, healthy, handsome and huge!

End of Year

Our Classical Conversations community had an 

End of Year Presentation and Celebration Night.  

It was a special evening where each of the classes did a presentation and 

Corban and Abigail were honored as Memory Masters!

This years Memory Masters!

Russia

 Corban finished the continent of Asia by studying Russia for two weeks.  

His science focus was on the tundra.

He also played some chess and tetris 

(both are from Russia) and we watched a movie about Russian ballet.

We ate cherry blintzes on our last day!

Memory Masters

They did it!!!!!

Corban and Abigail are BOTH Memory Masters 

with their Classical Conversations curriculum this year!  

This was a big goal that they both wanted to achieve, they worked very hard and did their best job!  We are so proud of both of them and what a great year they have both had at CC.  

 

This was Corban's third year to earn Memory Master  

(CC has 3 cycles of material and he has mastered all 3!) and Abigail's first year being in a class and earning Memory Master (after watching Corban do it the last two years she really wanted to try!).  

Over a 24 week period they learn more than 500 pieces of information across 6 subjects (History, Math, Geography, Grammar, Science, and Latin) as well as a Timeline of history (from creation to modern times) and the US Presidents.  Once they have memorized all the information, they proof all of the material twice with parents and then with their tutor, and finally do a shorter test with the director across all subjects.
