Classical Conversations at Home

For those of you that are wondering what Classical Conversations is:  here is an example of our review.  We meet every Friday and learn all of this stuff that we are supposed to review during the next week.  Most of this information changes each week.  There is a timeline that begins with creation and will go all the way through to Sept 11, 2001.  There are 7 cards each week.  Siena will learn hand motions to help her rememeber these events.  Next there is a history sentence each week which also has hand motions.  She also learns Latin, Grammar, Science, Math facts, Geography, Art, and this year she will memorize Ephesians 6.  The video is of Siena reviewing all of the this weeks memory work.  We just learned this on Friday and we reviewed it a little bit over the weekend and one time before we recorded it.  I have an audio CD that we listen to in the car that reviews all of this as well.  In the video Siena loves the part about the Tower of Babel (she cracks up every time).  Lilli is also listening to all of this, and she will participate with the counting and has done a few of the hand motions as well.
