Where In The WORLD Are We?

Charlotte Mason

    I've always been interested in Charlotte Mason. But, I never read up on it and I was under the impression that it wasn't structured enough for me. Boy, was I wrong! I have been doing a lot more research on it and it sounds great. I always liked the Nature Study, Shakespeare and Composer Study, Copywork and Narration, and living books. Now, I'm loving the habit training as well. I still like the idea of classical learning because of the memorization, but I would like to incorporate both methods next year.

    Unfortunately, this is my second post on the subject because my post got erased when my internet failed me. I don't have as much time now, but I have done a lot of research on habit training and it has already helped me plan the things we need to work on for next year and even the behaviors that need work right now. There are many helpful websites. I was really happy to find Ambleside online. I was so surprised that they had free curriculum. It really helps with the planning. It has links to other great resources too. Even though I had looked at Ambleside before, I had completely missed that.

       Well, I better post this while I can. Our internet has been sporadic at best. We're going to get Mobily in the fall. That should solve our internet troubles. There are too many people on the system here now and it's hard to get on.

       Hope you're having a great summer!

Do you guys take a summer break? Not that it's important, but I was thinking that with some time, you'd have a window to do your reading and research on Miss Mason's techniques. In addition to her own works, might I also suggest Educating a Wholehearted Child by Sally Clarkson? Also, LindaFay at Higher Up and Further In (http://higherupandfurtherin.blogspot.com/) runs a wonderfully warm, yet thoroughly educational blog in the how-tos of implementing a Charlotte Mason education in your home. Enjoy!
