History and Charlotte Mason
“Charlotte Mason's students were taught history in chronological order,” We have been enjoying 'The Story of the World, Volume 1. Ancient Times.' We are doing a chapter a day, five days a week.It will take eight weeks to finish.We will then continue with 'The Story of the World, volume 2, Middle Ages' and continue on with volume 3 and 4 in chronological order._____________________________________________
Illustrations by the Children
"History provides great material for narrating, and children enjoy narrating what they've read or heard. They also love to draw pictures."- C.M. Volume 1, page 295.-    ______________________________________________'Playing at' History
"Narrating and illustrating aren't the only ways that children express the ideas that fill them when they are exposed to great materials."
- C.M.Volume 1, pg.295 -
      
    This is our first time at paper mache!__________________________________________________________________
Geography Should be Interesting
- C.M. Volume 1, page 273.-
   "The Meaning of a Map
Geography should mostly be learned from maps."- C.M. Volume 1, page 278- ____________________________________________________________Charlotte Mason encouraged the use of whole books not portions of books. I get supplemental books from the library.If I keep them around the kids will read them._____________________________________________________
Dates
"Children will need to have a sense that what they're reading has a specific time when it happened before their collection of knowledge gets too vast."
-C.M. Volume 1 page 292 -
  My Book of Centuries post._________________________________________________________________  We do all of our lessons together, (11 yr, 9 yr, & 5 yr old)even the little guy can narrate a bit and illustrate!It's more fun when you have each other, to share and discuss what you're learning. |
