Thoughtworthy (Latin for Moms, New Podcast Episode, and MORE!)

:: 1 ::

When I mentioned my personal Latin notebook last week, I neglected to say what curriculum I was using for myself. Oops! Yes, that would have been good information to include.

For my refresher course this year, I chose Getting Started with Latin, partly because it looked like I could fit a complete lesson into my 15 minute time slot, and partly because I wanted to write a review of it. I was right: the lessons fit into my time slot perfectly. I’ll post a review sometime in the future. I’m enjoying it.

Note: I also use my Latin review box for vocabulary.

Charlotte Mason Boot Camp opened up yesterday. Last I checked, there were still some spots left (there are 60 slots total, including scholarships that were given out), so consider yourself notified. 🙂

This month in 2012:

Apparently, it was six years ago that I first re-thought math for Daughter A. I’ll be honest: while taking a break and switching things up was magical for my oldest, math has continued to be a struggle with my second child. But you know what? I still believe that what I did here was best. And I still maintain that we are often afraid of rest and we really do need to be okay with taking it. But will rest automagically fix everything? No. No it won’t.
