{Classical Conversations} Detailed Planner

I spent an inane amount of time trying to wrap my head around the best way to plan and schedule myself and the kids. I wanted something visual that fit a timetable but also allowed me to plan something different for each child if necessary.

The first quarter of CC focuses around the Medieval Period in Europe.  This is such a rich time of history with so many fun components like knights, castles, and kings.  I know we won’t have enough time in the fall to explore for as long as I’d like.  I wanted to incorporate some these themes […]
