Together:
This week was very different and took more work than normal. This week we joined a group called Classical Conversations. We really enjoyed it. We meet on Mondays with them then we have normal Homeschool Coop on Tuesday, at which I teach 4 classes(yikes). So this week was a week to get into a different groove!! We had a ton of fun. I had thought of going to CC for several weeks and just wanted to try it out. Glad we did.
This is what we learned at CC:
History Topic
In 1898 Theodore Roosevelt and his rough riders defeated the Spanish at the battle of San Juan hill while trying to help the Cubans win there independence.
History Timeline with motions!
1764- 1783(ish)
Parliament acts unjustly
The first Constitutional Congress seeks peace with Britian
The war for indepence begins
British lose at Bunker Hill
America declares its independence
Washington commands the Continental Army
Winter at Valley Forge
Yorktown and the Treaty of Paris
