Too many people lack a basic understanding of geography.
A knowledge of geography helps us put historical events in place. It fosters awareness of different cultures and world events. It helps us know that we are but a SMALL part of this BIG world.
I've been wanting to share with you what my kids are doing for geography, because it can be done so easily.
It's time to delve into our experiences with Classical Conversations.
I can sum it up very easily: Why did I wait so long to make this decision?
We've always homeschooled in a classically eclectic style (if that makes sense). Our constants have been The Story of The World, First Language Lessons, and Writing With Ease.
My children, however, also love to take off on interest led tangents and at times I've almost considered us almost completely Delight Directed learners.
This year I have two children in Classical Conversations - one in Foundations, and another in Challenge A. It's been a wonderful first 6 weeks of school, and I'm ready to blog about the reason why.
