Can’t seem to settle tonight so I thought I’d blog about one of the things I’ve been so busy doing lately… planning my kids education. Not just the next year but starting with a 12 year overview. Criminy! The idea is still so overwhelming that it gives me chills.
What really got me started was an ebook called “Planning Your Charlotte Mason Education“. You’d think after 3 years of doin’ this, I’d know what I was doing. You’d think I’d have a handle on things. Nope. Every year has needed something different. Next year, with Jessie fully into the mix, needed more planning. Frightening, but true. This ebook really broke it down into doable chunks. I needed that! Now I know what I need (and have it) with a few minor exceptions (where I’m looking for the right resources). That feels good! And exciting! Lots of fun things planned WITH input from kids and dad.
But why CM? I love importance placed on nature studies, language, and hand crafts, not to mention the organization. Those things are much in line with our educational beliefs to not just learn the facts but to learn to live.
Next up… Year Overview…
