Just returned from Nashville
Well, we just returned from Nashville. I didn't get to do all the sightseeing I wanted, because of the dance competition schedule and master dance classes that the kids took. I did get a couple of my novels finished though. Spent quality time with my oldest, whom I don't get to spend near enough time with anymore. And generally just relaxed.
Nathan and Athena both did solo routines at the advanced level and earned very high scores. For kids who are used to being in the top three all the time, it was a lesson in humility that neither of them made it into the top 10. Their team dances also did well. One of Athena's team dances made it into the top ten out of over 50 dances in the same division. Still, the kids weren't too happy because they are used to placing much higher.
Kayleigh was there as a teacher/choreographer this year instead of a dance competitor. Her students did extremely well. They placed the highest of any of the students from our studio! She was very proud of them. I was very proud of her. It is hard to believe she is really leaving to live in NYC in just a few weeks.
I hope to get back to the HTRLLAP posts very soon. There are only a few left. If anyone is following in the book, they may have figured out I am not going in order. When I first wrote the outline parts, it was for a group of middle schoolers who were watching movies based on classic novels and so I skipped a couple of chapters that didn't apply to them. I later added those back in for some highschoolers, but that is why things are skipped and out of order, but the whole book should ended up in the How To Read Literature Like A Professor file.
Now, I am going to check on you guys while I wait for my gym partner to get here.

What Type of Homeschooler Are You?
Galileo - If it is worth learning, it has been printed
in Latin. You want your children to have a
classical education. You teach the Trivium of
grammar,
logic, and rhetoric, and the Quadrivium
of arithmetic,
geometry, music, and astronomy.
Ancient history is
fascinating to you, and you
own several Greenleaf
Guides to prove it.
