Education

“It is infinitely well worth the mother’s while to take some pains every day to secure, in the first place, that her children spend hours daily amongst rural and natural objects; and, in the second place, to infuse into them, or rather, to cherish in them, the love of investigation.

Let them once get in touch with nature and a habit is formed which will be a source of delight and habit through life."

My new friend, CM-Charlotte Mason.  You will be hearing a lot about her because her method of home education is my choice when the boys start "first grade".  Her approach is absolutely a breath of fresh air and we are taking it all in and feeling refreshed.  You may be asking what about kindergarten.  We plan to use a curriculum that will combine the best of Charlotte Mason's ideas and classical education with a Biblical worldview and an international focus. We will be using "My Father's World".

Until September we will do busy work with letters and numbers.  And rejoice in being outside in NATURE!!
