We recently purchased a raised-relief gyromatic globe for Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding and we love it (the globe and the curriculum). I recently read LCC and was a bit disappointed. We use mostly WTM with a bit of CM, and I was looking for the 'real' classical education. I didn't find it in LCC. :) I came away with a stronger desire to include Latin and even Greek, and to reduce slightly what we do (I cut out spelling [for now] and drawing), but mostly it made me realise that what we're doing is great for us.

Just got the book Children Just Like Me. While I think we'll be okay on the geography workbooks, that blog site does look cool!

We used a push-pin on a map, as well as putting up little story discs on our laminated map. It was a great introduction. Now, I can't wait to really get into all this. Yep, I love learning along with my daughter. We did FIAR last spring and Satori remembers all the countries we studied in those books.

I really think the amount of time she spent outlining, pin punching every single country, labeling then and placing on a map has "sealed" into her mind. When the earthquake of Chile occured, she told me which continent it was on and it's neighboring countries. Sadly, I couldn't even do that from memory.
