Any homeschooler who follows the Charlotte Mason philosophy will recognize the word sloyd. Miss Mason incorporated several forms of sloyd throughout her broad curriculum. But, I'll be honest, even after homeschooling for several years, I still found myself asking "What is sloyd - and why is it a valuable tool in home education?" A deeper dive was necessary to clear this up for me once and for all. I knew that sloyd was a system of education focused on manual training in certain types of handicraft, using such things as paper, cardboard, wood, and metals. But what was...

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...

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...
