Things I {Heart} About This School Year…so far

{Classical Conversations} Memory Work Tri-board

Now that Mia’s reading more and Ty’s officially enrolled with our county, we will put time and effort into committing our CC Memory Work to…well…memory. In an effort to keep everyone occupied and as independent as possible, we will be using a tri-board to display the week’s memory work. The board is great because it […]
