Classical Conversations Cycle 1 | Week 1 * apileofAshes

Here are the resources I have come across to use with C1|W1.

Update: To be honest… check out my pinterest board C1|W1 it has tons of resources there.

I am taking a more interactive and technology approach to teaching the girls since they really enjoy playing with mommies gadgets. One doesn’t have to have these said gadgets to offer a great education to their children or a successful homeschooling week. I simply feel like if they are going to be playing on my iPad or iPhone then they should being learning instead of playing Angry Birds (nothing against angry birds, but I doubt the creators of AB imagined my 4 year old playing it, just sayin). And also I love the resources I found this week and think the girls are going to have a blast learning! But if you keep it simple and the kids will still love every minute of it.

* I plan on saving this page as an icon on my iPad. this way the girls can click that “app” {so they think} and it will open this page on the screen. They can find their games for the week and videos all in one location!

See this post to learn how to do this too.

*Note: For purposes of CC and Memory Masters/Proofing, modeling exactly the way the Foundations Guide is very important.

This is such a cute song and project this class did. My girls love things out of the ordinary and this is right up their alley. I will be using this to play in week one and we may even attempt our own version. I’ll post to let you know if we do.

“We’re in that Fertile Crescent” Rap

Teach the fertile crescent with a croissant lesson

Here is scripture that correlates to this area:
Mesopotamia – Genesis 24:10, Deuteronomy 23:4, Judges 3:8, 10
Euphrates River (called The Great River in the Bible) – Gen. 2:14 and 15:18, Deut. 1:7, Revelation 9:14 and 16:12

English: Preposition

A song I came across on pinterest a while back. I might learn this for class and share it with my group. Okay I was going to do this song with motions… but I found one that I like better and plan on doing it instead. Either is fine, but I like the second one’s motions a little better. Plus that little guy is so cute!
