Teaching the Classical Method - Amy Sloan, Part 2 (Homeschool Survival Series)

What is the Christian Classical Method of education and how can you teach it in your home? Yvette Hampton is joined by Amy Sloan, 2nd-generation classical homeschooler, podcaster, and blogger to get to the heart of classical homeschooling.
 

Amy Sloan and her husband John are 2nd-generation homeschoolers to 5 children from 6 to 16 years old. The Sloan family adventures together in NC where they pursue a restfully-classical education. If you hang out with Amy for any length of time you’ll quickly learn that she loves overflowing book stacks, giant mugs of coffee, beautiful memory work, and silly memes. At any moment she could break into song and dance from Hamilton, 90s country music, or Shakespeare. Amy writes at HumilityandDoxology.com and hosts the biweekly “Homeschool Conversations” podcast.

Come back tomorrow for the rest of this conversation.
