Third Trimester

Our school year can be broken up into trimesters, I've just realized. Two twelve-week sessions of Classical Conversations followed by a 12 week session of simply home school.

My boys have wondered why, oh why do we finish CC so early? They love it so!*. I love CC, and I also love shifts in schedule. So with 12 weeks to go I'm feeling inspired to switch up our school at home.

My plan:
•Continue on in Bible Study with The •Long Story Short
•More Scripture memorization
*•CC review in game & quizzing form (working on my CC review box)
•Saxon Math
•nature studies
•beginning Latin's Not So Tough
•Wrap up Johnny Tremain
•Continued studies in Language Arts using
•Creating out personal Lego books (fun idea, Pinterest)
•Working through my new Idea Box*

A new season brings with it inspiration & a renewed resolve to finish our school year well. I'm thankful for it!

I'm also looking at creative ideas for promoting writing & more of a love of learning.

What are you inspired by?
