(sounds like salway)... Big kids say "Salve!" (sounds like salvay). Charlotte Mason did not think that Latin was suitable for young children, (perhaps because it was not as enjoyable as Song School [...]

  From Macbeth Act 4, Scene 1  (click to enlarge) Lines 1-21 memorized!  And now, on to lines 22-38. Because it is required? NO!

  We aimed to prove this book wrong! On the book cover of 'Yo, Millard Fillmore', It claims that you can memorize all of the presidents in 20 minutes. We tried it, (just for fun!) It did, indeed, take only 20 minutes! What's more... one week later with no practice...they can still do it!       Pretty cool!        ' [...]
