My kids follow a Classical approach to school...one of the pillars is writing narrations. So, say we read a chapter in history, after doing whatever projects we want on the topic the kids make a "narration page" to write or draw in their own words what they remember about that chapter. Recently Maya had The Renaissance as her topic and there was so much there she couldn't figure out what to write. So instead of writing sentences, she just wrote words...in different colors and different fonts, all over the page. The page was filled with things like printing press, Da Vinci, Latin, art, science...And I think she will look back on that page and remember a whole lot about the Renaissance, even without complete sentences.
Well, here we are, on the other side of the holidays. Like so many other things I have been meaning to do, I have meant to write, but I just haven't. Since I can't quite get it together, my summary of the holidays will be like the Renaissance narration page...
