I wouldn't take our Classical Conversations community director's word for it when she said, "Trust me. The weekly memory work is ENOUGH."
In my efforts to make sure my Foundations student was getting "enough" for school, I added a grammar program, writing program, and other various curricula.
After six weeks of Foundations, I am here to report that we have DITCHED almost all of them.
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.
