Busy busy bee! Subject links.

As I am preparing to tutor, I find myself getting more and more excited! I have so many ideas that I think I can smush into the classical mold and I keep finding terrific reading material and web resources. I am humbled and amazed at the plethora of information out there that I do not know and I am so thankful that it is available to learn. Here are just a few that I have found/were given that apply to what we are studying in CC. Hopefully my parents and students can use it to enhance their learning experience. Have fun learning!

TimeLine Resources
Send me an email if you want our song. It is 1 tune and thus 1 pneumonic. I find it easier than multiple songs/week, but it is up to each person to decide what works best. We focused on knowing the actual chronology of events to remember when/how/why things happened rather than just the memorization.


 I also have it spoken, ready for email.

Fit school into your life, rather than working your life around school. Involve your children in math lessons related to cost per pound of grocery items and science lessons on photosynthesis while you garden together.
