Sometimes people ask me, “What is homeschooling like?” I usually tell them that on a good day we work for 4-5 hours then I have the rest of the day to do what I like.  This year we started working with a new program called Classical Conversations.  There is a lot of memorization. Most of it is fun. There are timeline cards with great pictures or art that have to do with a certain event in history. For example, Creation is the first card and it has a part of the painting from the Sistine Chapel on the card.  In history we are also studying the History of The United States.  We started with Columbus and we are now at George Washington becoming our first president.  I think George Washington was really cool. I am also learning, human anatomy, grammer, latin, math tables, and drawing. My dad teaches us drawing.  I meet once a week with 3 other families. We do science and history projects, drawing class, and learn our memory work for the next week.  It is pretty intense but I am learning a bunch. What is your school day like? I love to hear about other people’s experiences. Do you like learning other languages or do you like science and history? Tell me about your school day.

See you later,

Nathan
