I was the original poster on that thread. It's so nice to learn from those who have been there before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165152289947787094.post-27481506922051375012010-11-15T21:16:19.558-06:002010-11-15T21:16:19.558-06:00Fabulous!

However, I have seen the incredible results of this method in some friends who were able to start their children in classical method from the beginning. <br />My own girls, by watching the results of the other children, have seen the value of memorization at early ages for making connections later. They are convinced of it's merits, so maybe the next generation will reap the fullest benefits. <br />Great post, LL.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418658543761850895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165152289947787094.post-34636326156881229682010-11-15T10:17:54.336-06:002010-11-15T10:17:54.336-06:00One thing that continually surprises me is how muc...One thing that continually surprises me is how much easier memorization is for my ds5 than it is for dd10. It's always been more difficult for her, but I can see it becoming harder as she gets older. <br /><br />A side benefit to memory work is that I have (inadvertently!) memorized some pieces that I don't know I would have otherwise put the effort into learning - In Flanders Fields, The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Gettysburg Address, an excerpt from "I Have a Dream" - and even dh has picked up some of them. <br /><br />We use many of the same resources as you. I do try to pull things from what they are learning in history, science, and foreign language. In theory, I'd love to have them memorize things relating to fine arts, but I haven't figured that out quite yet.Kashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919872862510660397noreply@blogger.com
