There are all these benefits, yes.

But Mason talks about giving children a living touch with the past.

The lessons that I've described that I put together and I experience with my students,

this is how that happens.

You have to bring the dead to life in order to develop relationship.

Welcome to Skalae Sisters, where we are cultivating the maximum number of thinking moms we can.

This is the podcast for classical homeschooling mamas who yearned for something more than just checking boxes and getting it all done.

Scalae Sisters discusses topics that matter to those of us who believe that educating ourselves through reading widely, thinking deeply, and applying faithfully,

equips us for the task of educating our children. I'm your host, Brandy Vensel. To get my free, almost weekly, mostly Charlotte

Mason newsletter, go to afterthoughtsblog.net slash subscribe and sign up.

My co-host today is Misty Winkler.

Misty is a homeschooling mom of five, including two graduates.

She writes and podcasts at simplyconvial.com and is the author of two excellent books,

the convivial homeschool and simplified organization. Today's guest is Latin teacher extraordinaire Angela Reid.

We are so excited to have her back on the show.

Angela has been a student of Linguiletina and Classical Civilization for over 25 years.

She started on this path in high school when she took her first Latin class, and, for

extra credit, joined the Latin Club. She has been enthusiastically carrying a classical torch

ever since. When she first encountered the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason, it was not

long before she began to study how Latin fit within it. This research led to some surprising insights, experimentation in the classroom, and a new direction

for her teaching, living Latin lessons, live online classes offering a Charlotte Mason approach to Latin.

She and her husband lived in Florida and share a life of books, music, and outdoor adventures with their five children.
