Sigh! Perhaps I could mould what we're doing and make it fit more with CM .....???? We actually used to education in more of a CM way in the younger grades but I've found in high school you need to get a little more serious. In any case, you've got me excited about it and given me something to ponder!

I wanted to use Ambleside for my daughter but we got on a classic bent and I was too chicken to change what seemed to be working (and that she liked). Since she's now 15, it's probably too late, but I can still live vicariously through others.

My daughter loves the violin, but I fear she is pretty much too big for the one she has already! I'm glad your daughter is enjoying the cello!

My dd also read the online version http://www.amblesideonline.org/MarcoPoloTowle.html & I was surprised that she actually liked that one better - more of a story whereas Freedman's book is a more factual type of format. We didn't do much mapwork apart from following along with the places in the story. <br />I really enjoyed going through Voskamps book - helped fill in lots of gaps for me. Finding a highland dancing teacher is difficult - even in the city where we are they are few and far between.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-51504336960336076172014-11-12T14:11:17.023+11:002014-11-12T14:11:17.023+11:00Loved seeing a peek into your Yr3.

One of my daughters would love to take lessons for that. But we live in a little town in Colorado. So nothing like that would even begin to be offered. Very cool to check out though. I was wondering, did y'all not do Marco Polo for geography? Did you do the Voskamp instead or as well? Thank you.Virginia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639646299075064468noreply@blogger.com
