Emily

As we finish memorizing "Hope" by Emily Dickinson, I wanted to share this picture book with you.  I read it to some of the kids in class, but I think it merits a place on the bookshelf year round.  On the surface this book is a simple story about a little girl who lives across the street from Emily Dickinson.  It describes a brief encounter between poet and child.  Woven into the story, however, are beautiful insights on art, beauty, and the true nature of the human person.  I find more to love in this book every time I read it.

Labels

Here are some ideas for labels, so that future generations of CCC moms (or, us... when we have memorized so much information we can no longer remember anything else) can look for helpful tips.  If your post doesn't fit into any of these, no label is fine, too.  Comment below with further suggestions if there is something we might post about regularly I missed.

Homemaking
Pre-school
History
Geography
Poetry
Grammar
Music
Science
Math
Timeline (for the videos of the signs)
Scripture
Catechesis
Teaching Memory Work
Other Homeschooling (in case someone wants to post about their phonics or math ideas, etc.)
Year One
Year Two
Year Three

So, as an example, if I found a great history resource for Ancient History, I might write a post up about it and label it History, Year One.  Down the road another mom could click on the label "Year One" and get all our notes and ideas.
