West Olympia CC October 1
Foundations & Essentials Week 4, Challenge Week 6
Well, the year is fully underway. The newness has worn off and the daily-ness of it all is settling in. If your homeschool is anything like mine, you are finding that some of the things you planned aren't going quite as you expected. Or maybe you are just now implementing some new ideas and figuring it out as you go (also like our school! :)
Be encouraged friends - We all make it work as we go, learn from what isn't working, and have little happy parties when we realize that something actually did go as planned!! But remember who holds us all in the palm of his hands. Trust him to work out all the details - he has the best view of it all.
Proverbs 16:9 ESV
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Definition: Classical Education
Take a few minutes & watch this TED video. It is a wonderful introduction (or reminder) of the basics of Classical Education. It would also be a good resource to share with others who want to know what CC is all about.
