If you've ever considered the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, you should be familiar with this list. If homeschooling is new to you, read on, as the adoption of these principles in your home and parenting can change your life. At the beginning of her Home Education Series, Charlotte Mason lists what she calls "a short synopsis of the educational theory" which she presents in her books. It consists of the 18 powerful core principles of a Charlotte Mason education. 1. Children are born persons. 2. They are not born either good or bad, but with possibilities for good...

Every once in a while, in our homeschool, I've noticed a recurring subject. Recently it's been the compass. It has come up in our history lessons, geography lessons, and science lessons. I love when it all comes together and the children make real connections between it all. To make the subject more alive, we decided to learn how to make a compass with simple household items. We started off by a fun little experiment with our magnets. Clark and Luci both assembled a few common household items that they thought would attract the magnets. They were surprised to find  what was drawn...

Several years ago, before my children were of school age, a friend who happened to be an experienced homeschooling Mom lent me the the book Charlotte Mason Companion: Personal Reflections on The Gentle Art of Learning by Karen Andreola. At the time, my son was in a preschool program, and I think my friend saw my growing struggle with the idea of sending him to public school. As I began reading the book, a whole new world started to open for me. The first chapter outlines the core concepts of a Charlotte Mason education. As I read through it, an excitement...

I know it's cheating, but I will often delay buying homeschool supplies and other necessities when I know that Christmas is just around the corner. Markers and paints, and paper, and glue make the best stocking stuffers! This year, however, we are already well-stocked with the usual art supplies and educational games, so I went on the hunt for some more unique and creative Christmas gifts for homeschoolers. I came up with some great stocking stuffers and gifts for under the tree! Let's Start with Stocking Stuffers 1. Insta-Snow Powder Insta-Snow Powder was a huge hit for us last year. We live in Texas, so...

Oh the things you discover…!  As I’ve been researching homeschooling, I keep coming back to the English educator, Charlotte Mason from the late 1800s and her methods.  Her approach to education rings so true and I strongly believe that it would be extremely effective for my children.  One thing Charlotte Mason stresses is the importance of outdoor nature study with children.  In fact, she suggests 4-6 hours of this every day!  Although this may be too lofty of a goal, several hours once a week for nature study may be more attainable. Find a Local Nature Preserve Since today is Friday and I work all weekend, I wanted to get the...

While researching the different homeschool methods for my children, a friend directed me to the book A Charlotte Mason Companion: by Karen Andreola.  I have been devouring it obsessively for the past couple of weeks. Can I just say, I LOVE THIS BOOK!  In fact, at the risk of sounding utterly corny, I would say this book resonates in my soul.  I had no idea what homeschooling could look like and how it could nourish not only my children's minds, but also their souls and spirits. I am learning all kinds of things about Charlotte Mason's methods, all...
