Traditional Logic I- Contraposition

[sweetbee]

Hello,

I've been teaching students in our co-op using Traditional Logic I. We will be beginning Chapter 9 next week on Obversion, Conversion, and Contraposition. As we walk through examples, I want to help the students see why all 4 types of statements can be obverted, but only certain...

This conference was excellent, and I am so glad that I attended. I am on the waiting list for the Summer Conference in Austin. Are any of you going?

Hello all,

I attended the Circe conference in Louisville this past weekend and during Martin's talk, he mentioned that CS Lewis only studied 3 things in his younger years. (I am pretty sure it was Martin, and if not, I feel confident he would know the answer.) I can only remember 2...

Hi everyone.

I haven't posted on this board for quite some time. I am trying to craft my son's course of study for next year. He will be a 7th grader. We have used MP quite a bit, and I particularly like their science choices. Right now we are using Trees, and we love it. He has completed...

I have a question regarding the poetry page on rhyme and meter at the end of the Adam of the Road. The Teacher's Guide does not tell the answer for Enrichment question #3, in which we try to find the meter and rhyme scheme for the poem at the beginning of the book. We think it is iambic tetrameter...

Hello Everyone!

Last year I remember seeing info about the MP summer conference sometime in January or February. Today I started to look for it and discovered that there will not be one this year. Sad! I had such a great time last year and learned so much, and I really enjoyed meeting...

morning time

Thank you! I have always wondered about reading multiple books at a time, afraid that my kids might confuse the storylines. After reading your posts, I think I should revisit this. I love the idea of having the kids each take turns reading, as you do, Melisa, and of reading...

Reading during your morning routine

Jessica-

First, congratulations on tackling Shakespeare... I had not thought of introducing it yet, but this definitely gives me food for thought. One thing that caught my attention in your post was your mention of your reading time...

[sweetbee]

Thanks Jessica!

I just looked it up and amazon has a kindle version, which might be a good version for us. I will definitely keep it in mind. One of the things that I don't like about our CDs is that I have to hunt for each bird. I like the idea that I could look at the picture, click...

Thanks Tanya- I will test with our bird songs CD.

Testing bird songs

For those of you who are farther along in the bird studies book, how are you testing bird songs? Are you playing the song from the CD for your child to identify, or are you reading the bird call as it is listed in the book?

Thanks!

I would echo much of what has been said above. I have 3 in 5th, 4th, and 2nd grades. My last couple of years have been much as you described in your post, and a lot breaks were inserted. This year I am guarding and scheduling our time much more strictly. I pretty much ignore the phone during the...
