Learning together, one small step at a time. ❤️

I am sharing this encouraging post from a sister CC community in South Africa. I loved how simply it captures the heart of our Foundations programme.

"Trust the smallness of it, trust the slowness, because the harvest is being prepared in this season."

Sometimes it can be hard to fully see the depth and fullness of the learning taking place when the children are having so much fun while singing songs, telling stories, playing games, and engaging in practical, hands-on activities. Yet these seemingly simple moments are laying strong foundations and planting seeds that, over time, bear wonderful fruit.

Foundations is full of small, faithful moments that build upon one another. Day by day, week by week, these little seeds take root, and in time we begin to see the fruit. 🌱✨

The Foundations years can feel like the smallest part of the work. The songs, the chants, the timeline verses, the geography songs that get repeated until the youngest of them is sleep-singing the words at three in the morning. There is no obvious yield, no essay to read, no thesis defended. But the Foundations years are not where the big work is being done. They are where the soil is being made. The thinking that will, in time, fill the dialectic years, the speaking that will fill the rhetoric years, all of it grows from the soil being laid now. Song by song. Walk by walk. Hadeda by hadeda. It can be hard to trust the smallness of it. It can be harder still to trust the slowness. But the harvest is being prepared in this season, and not in another. May the songs you sing this week settle quietly into the long shape of who they are becoming… #ClassicalConversations #FoundationsLife #HomeschoolMom #GrammarStage #SeasonsOfMothering

Yvonne Mcarthur was there at the very beginnings of CC in Scotland and was the first person to run a community here. She is a wonderfully knowledgeable and supportive lady. I'm sharing a video of her speaking about CC at the Unite for Education event — well worth a watch!

Yes! I can really relate to this article. Our style of education was very different before, and I honestly wasn’t sure about stepping into the Challenge years with my oldest. She has now completed her second year in the Challenge program and is moving into her third, and I can’t express how much she has matured, grown in confidence, and learned along the way.

Was it always easy? No, but it has absolutely been worthwhile.

Now my youngest will be joining his big sister as he begins Challenge A, because I can now see the beauty of it so clearly, not just academically, but in the growth of character, responsibility, perseverance, and relationships. The Challenge years have stretched us all in good ways, and I’m so thankful we took the leap. Dundee Classical Community - Licensed Classical Conversations Community
