This blog has been officially resurrected. Our family did not all get eaten by rabid jellyfish or kidnapped by Antarcticans. We just kind of forgot about the whole blogging thing.
We just finished our first year of Classical Conversations and loved it! I was in Challenge B, Ella was in Masters, Reuben was in Apprentices, and Sam was in Abecedarians. (yes, that is a real word) Classical Conversations is a curriculum that I will leave to my Mom to explain. I studied Latin, Logic, Debate, Chemistry, Mock Trial, Literature, Short story writings, and History of science. I did a science fair project, wrote my own short story (which you can read upon request), committed to memory all the latin noun declensions, a portion of latin conjugations, and the personal pronoun declensions. We did a whole lot of other stuff too. I had an awesome teacher and an awesome classroom along with awesome classmates. We had so much fun. I can't wait till next year... but then again, this is all about me. If you want to read more about me, go to my blog, but wait till you're done reading this! I know it is awesome, I can't help it really, but read about everybody else first.
Ella has discovered her interest in violin and continues to excel rapidly in her musical skills. She just received a new violin on Thursday that is beautiful. I think I'm starting to annoy her because I ask her to play it so much. The make of the violin she has is an Amati milano. She is also working on writing a book. She hasn't really told me much about it, but she works on it a lot. I'm sure it will be good.
Hopefully Mom will get back into the habit of updating more frequently. Bye!
