If you have a LEGO lover, you know they will do just about ANYTHING that involves bricks or minifigures!
Why not harness that love to your advantage? Use LEGO Minifigs to inspire writing!

Last week, in a large homeschooling Facebook group I read some very distressing things about homeschooling with Classical Conversations. One of the bandwagons that a few people jumped on was: "Classical Conversations is very restrictive - they dictate the curriculum and there is no room for your children to be themselves.".
That is FALSE, and it bothers me when people make sweeping generalizations about ANY homeschooling method.
As our week unfolded, there was a beautiful example of Interest Led learning within a Classical framework.
I couldn't have planned it any better, and I knew I must share it with my readers.

I am thrilled with our December homeschool plans.
I always pin so many beautiful projects and ideas and then am disappointed in myself because I never get to them. Can you relate?
This year, I am keeping it SIMPLE -- I've chosen two very attainable goals - one for music and one for art.
