Bravewriter

Posted in homeschooling
If you have never heard of Bravewriter I suggest you go straight  away to the  Bravewriter
website.  There you will find a wealth of information regarding the Bravewriter lifestyle and the Bravewriter writing philosophy.   The two oldest chicks and I just finished up a 6 week course called Kids Write Basic.  This course taught ME how to teach my children how to write.  It allowed me to see that my children have funny, interesting, thoughtful ideas in their heads and that they CAN write if they have something about which to write.  It allowed my children to see that they can write and there is nothing to fear about writing.  Bravewriter is  not a curriculum...it is a lifestyle that nurtures the writer in you and your children!

About Me

Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...

Words to Ponder

The morning wind forever blows; the poem of the world is uninterrupted, but few are the ears that hear it. ~Thoreau

The writer studies literature not the world...He is careful what he reads, for that is what he will write. ~Annie Dillard

About our homeschool

First and foremost we strive to instill in our children a deep and abiding love of God and a saving faith in Christ Jesus. And toward that end we use a mixture of the Classical Christian and Charlotte Mason approaches to homeschooling. We place a high level of importance upon reading the bible and good literature, keeping away from twaddle as much as possible! We study Latin and Poetry, Shakespeare and Geography, Writing and Math and Science, too! We try to incorporate Nature Studies as much as time and Babycakes will allow. And we study history in a 4-year cycle, repeating each time period (Ancients, Middle ages/Renaissance & Reformation, Colonial/Early American History, Modern) 3 times over the course of 12 years. We try to allow our children the time to really explore what interests them and time to just be kids.
