Language Arts in a Classical Model

     Here's how I'm putting our new classical Language Arts course together:

     Basically I've made myself a little tick list so that it'll be easier to keep track of.  It's set to cover a full fortnights worth of school.  That way I only have to print them up once every two weeks.  Just tweaking a little here and there to accommodate what we need as we go.

     I've based the subject list and times ( a little tweaked ) by what's discussed by Susan Wise Bauer in 'The Well Trained Mind'.  I've had the book for YEARS and it has always been extremely useful, so I highly recommend it.  If you can get a copy, please do.

     Thanks for visiting.
