one step at a time...
Have I told you lately how wonderful I think you are? :) Just last week I was thinking ahead to next year and wondering, and you just posted exactly what I needed! Thank you again for all your efforts and for SHARING all of your hard work with the rest of us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting your list. My one complaint against Child's History of the World is that it doesn't give many dates. I know dates aren't *that* important, but do help for getting events in order. And that matters, since one event leads to another. ;)
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you that I want to be you when I grow up? :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be very grateful, if you ever have time, if you'd offer feedback on my plans posted http://hopewellmomschoolreborn.blogspot.com/2009/03/pondering-homeschool-for-next-year.html I have learned so much, and my daughter has gained so much, from your suggestions that I really value your input.:)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog and I've given you an award! So, please stop by my blog when you get a chance.

Thank you all for your very kind words.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I emailed you.
Blessings!
I check your site frequently and get some great ideas. Thank you so much for taking the time to be specific -- I appreciate your willingness to share what you have learned. I have 4 children (2-10) and started out homeschooling 5 years ago using The Well Trained Mind and almost lost mine (or at least the will to homeschool!) until I found the Latin Centered Curriculum (a more traditional classical educational model which I think meshes very well with Charlotte Mason). I wonder if you have ever read it? Anyway, it inspired me and there was so much talk of CM methods that somehow or other that's how I found your site, which has been a lot of help to me in figuring out specifics. And this encouraged me to read CM's books, which I have started and am loving! I think what she was doing is very close to what LCC is proposing, and I am really getting a lot out of her writings. So, thank you for helping me!

Dear Lindafay,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this list. We have been reading through A Child's History of the World using your plan for the past 2 years. My daughter often makes a card for the timeline after each chapter, unless the chapter is an extension of the previous one. I often wonder if we are doing this right! But then I figure she's learning so it should be fine.
Recently our timeline was knocked off the wall and everything was mixed up. It should be fun putting it back up :)
Sincerely,
Stacy
Thank you for the extra effort you always put forth while sharing. These details are always so extra helpful.

I like your cards! I am excited to try it with my kids.
ReplyDeleteStacy,
ReplyDeleteI have wondered how you and DD are doing. So glad to hear it's going well. Thanks for dropping me a line, today.
Dear Linda,
ReplyDeleteI just saw a delightful decorating site yesterday from your Latest Delicious Finds spot and checked it out late last night, forgot to save the site and can't remember the name of it. Now it's gone!!! :) Do you remember the name of it? Thank you!
I have studied your site extensively and am learning so much, my 4 children are thoroughly enjoying the new, improved method of learning!! Thank you!
Thank you!
