Wow! Thank you so much for sharing the virtual field trip! I will definitely be using it with my daughter! We love Classical Conversations! My family is starting Cycle 3 for the first time this September.
Thank you so much for posting this stuff! I am a first year CC parent and can use all the help I can get!

Hi Melissa,
Thanks so much for posting this on the “CC Connected” site! You are truly amazing! I don't know how you do all of those activities and keep you head screwed on straight!
