86/365 Rootbeer Floats and Friends
My son and his good friend (on our right in this shot) are working very hard on achieving something called "Memory Master" in our Classical Conversations Homeschool Co-op. To become a Memory Master, they must have every fact memorized from 24 weeks of study, covering subjects such as Geography, History, English Grammar, and Science. It also includes a Timeline of History from Creation to Present Day that takes THIRTEEN MINUTES to recite in full. Oh, and math multiplications facts 1-15, all to the 15s. So, 15 x 15. All of it has to be memorized. It is hard work. So, after our study session today, we stepped out into the spring air with some pretty impressive rootbeer floats. My 8-year-old daughter (who hopes to try for Memory Master next year) joined us for the end of the study session and, of course, for the floats. :)
