Classical education
Classical education is an approach organized around the trivium: a grammar stage of learning facts, a logic stage of reasoning, and a rhetoric stage of expression.
Among homeschoolers it was popularized partly by Dorothy Sayers' 1947 essay "The Lost Tools of Learning." It typically emphasizes history taught in chronological order, memorization in the early years, logic, Latin or another classical language, and reading original works.
For the record you keep
History cycles and memory work run across years, so a record that keeps the sequence and where each child is in it carries forward cleanly.
One record for any method
Lessons, the learning log and work samples all count toward attendance, hours and the year-end packet.
