A full week of no school has been just what the doctor ordered.

The kids have been working SO HARD, and when I stopped to relax I realize I had been working hard, too. 

Dad was working this week  so the kids and I spent our mornings sleeping in and our days reading, relaxing, and doing things we enjoy. 

I like this idea of schooling for 6 or 7 weeks and then taking a full week off, and I'm glad our Classical Conversations community has a calendar that follows this schedule.

We're finding our way with Classical Conversations -- learning simple ways to expand upon the memory work, and also learning that sometimes the memory work in Foundations really is ENOUGH.

The first 6 weeks has ended and I'm BLOWN AWAY by what both of my children have learned since we started. I cannot stop singing the praises of CC to everyone we know. 

Next week we will be on a fall break - one whole week of no schoolwork. I'm looking forward to the break, because it has been a BUSY 8 weeks since we began in August.
