You are once again putting into words all the things I think about but have little ability to communicate πŸ₯° I very much appreciate the perspective of 'starting with the end in mind'. I think we can easily forget where we are going while we are always looking down, physically, at the toddlers. My husband graduated Logos, and I'm trying to catch up on classical education and all the ramifications for our kiddos. (Public school dropout here πŸ˜…) And hopefully someday they go even further with christian classical ed than he did!

It’s hard not to get lost in a sea of snotty noses πŸ˜‚

Wow, I love these suggestions, thank you!! We are just starting homeschool with my four-year-old, so I appreciate the ideas about how to build a rigorous curriculum.

We love Beethoven Lives Upstairs, too. Did you know it's taken from a picture book by the same title? I'm also making a note to look up KodΓ‘ly. I'm not familiar with this but would like my kids to become better sight-singers than I am!

I didn’t know that! Would be fun to look thru while listening.

Kodaly is a higher barrier to entry cuz it’s a whole methodology with certification and such and expensive materials, but well worth it to find a local teacher
