Getting Ready for Essentials

Mastery Chart Notebook-- 1 full, 10 empty, ABC dividers

It's time to get ready for Classical Conversations-- Essentials of the English Language Class. So here's how I organize my essential student.

 ESSENTIALS 

1) Essential curriculum (for me!)

2) Mastery Chart notebook-- A large notebook, divided into A through R. I place 1 copy of the full chart and 10 copies of empty charts behind each letter.

3) Quid et quo notebook-- A separate notebook with a section for 50 blank quid et quos basic pages and 25 blank quid et quo detailed pages

 4) Analytical Task Sheet notebook-- A notebook with 100 copies of blank task sheets, printed front and back

Quid et Quo-- 50 basic, 25 detailed

5) Trivium tables and moveable walls-- those cardboard things from CC













WRITING 

Writing-- Anything that needs to be written.....

1) Student Text-- I don't buy a teacher's book
2) Downloadable handbook-- Printed and spiral bound
3) Text Copies notebook-- I reuse the writing textbooks, so I don't let my kids write in it. I copy out all pages that need writing (key word outlines, etc.) and the check lists that need to be turned in with papers. I divide it out by lesson with numbered dividers.

and turn in pages, divided by lesson with # dividers

Cave Paintings

Cutting paper bags and crumpling to make walls

Paint

Just like Cheveaux

Copying techniques from the cave

Cheveaux!

Ice Age Activities

Ice Age Poster

We do "normal" stuff, too. This is penmanship. 

Ice Cream!! It's cold. Just like the Ice Age. 

Peanuts and chocolate chips!

Faces of History

We all enjoyed the "Faces of History" program put on by David's Essentials class (Classical Conversations). Each of the children chose a famous person from the Revolutionary War time period and wrote a research paper. At the program, the student either read his paper or gave a presentation-- in costume! David was Benedict Arnold and did a fantastic job! We are so proud!

Everyone happy!

Laura very content with Grandaddy

What a good-looking Benedict Arnold!

Congratulations to all the Essentials students! Well done!
