I am thrilled to bring you a list of living books, by week, for American History that can be used with Classical Conversations Cycle 3. I love the relationships and community that my family has been so richly blessed with from our Classical Conversations community. It has taken me a while to get used to…
The story of how I learned that living books and teaching my son to read using the methods of Charlotte Mason would help him to excel in reading. My son was hitting a wall with learning to read. And as a former kindergarten teacher I really thought I had it all figured out. After all, I…
