I received this letter today from Kathy. My kids are registered for her Maxim/Poetry & Chreia/Poetry Tutorials for Fall. Yipee!

The links didn't come through so you'll need to go to http://www.classicalwriting.com to get the specifics. Or contact Kathy. She's great.

 

Anyone else interested?

I've signed up my oldest ds for the Maxim/poetry class for the fall. It'll be so nice to have someone else teach it.
