[@AmongStouts]

Why does it come so fast! I’m going to savor this year so much.. I’m not ready for a high schooler😬 ☺️❤️

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

We are currently studying famous scientists as a family and we are loving it!!! My oldest did the astronomy book and it counted as a high school credit for him in our state!!! We watch grand designs and are impressed with what normal people build that look awesome!!! We have someone in our family in the building industry!!!

[@AmongStouts]

I don’t think we’ve watched Grand Design, Going to need to look that up!

[@kiras7874]

I know that Masterbooks has an engineering/architecture course. There is also a book called ‘Built to Last’ by David Macaulay you might be interested in. Hope you have a great year!

[@AmongStouts]

Awesome! I’m going. To find those and check them out, thanks so much.☺️

[@faithfullyinfertile]

I know...one more yr until highschool. Unbelievable!

[@AmongStouts]

Mindblowjng!! It comes so fast.

I was curious how cc was going for ur son? We are trying to decide if cc is still a good fit for us as we begin the challenge years. Do u feel like challenge dives deep enough? We have been told it’s all surface level and that it’s so much they don’t have time for any electives etc

[@AmongStouts]

I have a couple of video updates out that talk about this. In short, while there are many great things about Challenge, and my son has done very well with the program, we have made or are making some substitutions/omissions to the program and doing things a little differently. I will likely do a full video on all of the changes we made, and why… but for now, in my “let’s talk classical” video, there’s much of what’s going on in that video! I do agree that Challenge seems to be a mile wide and an inch deep. My son and I are finding that much of what he’s doing is busy work and time wasted because of their process, when in reality he’s ready to move on to the next level/book. A lot of what they do seems impressive, but it’s on the surface.

@@AmongStouts thank u for this! I was trying to look at ur videos and narrow it down to what one might have an update because I just don’t have the time to watch them all I’m sorry. I want to trust me I do but my days need to get longer first haha.

[@AmongStouts]

@@dawnhankins6139 I’m glad that was helpful! There’s a few layers to what I’m working through as far as challenge and as I learn more about the classical tradition and education and how I want that to look in my homeschool. Please don’t be sorry, I understand completely that life is busy for homeschool mamas! I truly value and appreciate the time that many of you spend to watch even 1 video of mine. My goal here is to share my own journey and help equip other mamas as I’m being equipped myself.☺️❤️

@@AmongStouts in ur honest opinion do u feel u will continue to do cc?

[@AmongStouts]

@@dawnhankins6139I’m honestly not sure. This is something my husband and I have had many discussions about and we continue to pray for the Lord’s guidance on. I have seen CC work for many families from foundations through challenge and it really is so dependent on it being a good fit or not, my biggest advice would be to go sit in on a Ch A class and even other levels if they’re available on your campus. Also, get a catalog and take a look at what middle school and high school will look like, what curriculum is used, the books being read to get an idea of it being a fit or not, then pray for guidance from the Lord. He will lead you where it’s right for your family.

"Logic is fun...and I don't really mean that." hahaha I'm scared....

[@AmongStouts]

😂😂😂 Me too… I am glad I’m going to go through it this summer, opening it up and some of it looked like a foreign language to me🤦🏻‍♀️
