Should I be here?
Hello Group!
We are about to finish up our 1st year of homeschooling and it went better than I ever could have imagined. Now that my feet are wet, I am pondering what path or philosophical approach to take with my girls. One is almost 8 and the other is 2 yrs old. We tried out Sonlight's Core 1 and it was okay. I ended up switching to SOTW for a more chronological appraoch.
I like the idea of exposing my children to the great works, but also want to make learning fun. Can anyone provide me with some insightful articles to read or your own testimonies demonstrating the successes or failures experienced with a Latin-centered curriculum? I would appreciate all the help I can get!

Welcome!
Have you seen the series of "day in the life" articles on this site? Look for "LCC: The Reality Edition" on the articles page. In fact, most of the articles written by people other than me talk about their personal, real life experiences with the curriculum. My family's blog has warts-and-all posts about our homeschooling, including weekly reports that list exactly what we studied. You may also want to consider joining the LatinClassicalEd YahooGroup, which gets a lot more traffic. There are currently over 900 subscribers there. I'm sure people would be happy to share their stories with you.
Thanks for stopping by!
