We’re a few weeks into our Waldorfy experiments, and things are far from settled. I’ve been busy, and tired, and things just haven’t gelled yet. We’re not getting much ‘work’ done, but we’re getting a bit here and there at least.
One thing I’ve loved about the Waldorf ideas, is the concept of drawing to learn. [...]

Autumn Session Update
by heather
I was just reviewing my previous post where I summarized what we’d accomplished in our first 6 weeks of a Charlotte Mason approach. That was back in March. It was fascinating to look back at what we’ve changed, what we’ve maintained, where we’ve stalled and where we’ve progressed.

by heather
We’ve come to the end of our first session of homeschooling with a Charlotte Mason approach. I decided to follow the idea of organizing 6-week session blocks according to the TangleWood School’s suggestions.

Our Homeschool Curriculum
by heather
We’re not school-at-home. We’re not radical unschoolers. We’re pretty eclectic. I give Flipper quite a bit of freedom in choosing what sorts of things he wants to do, but I also insist on a few things myself. I work very hard, however, at finding materials that will be interesting and even [...]
