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.
One big change is that I stopped thinking [...]

Considering History Odyssey
by heather
I just learned about a program by Pandia Press (who also does R.E.A.L. Science) called History Odyssey. It’s kinda Charlotte Mason-ey, in that it focuses on living books and history through stories as much as possible, rather than pure textbooks.
It’s a bit more structured that “pure” CM, though, since there are some guided question-and-answer [...]

I’m particularly looking forward to Home is Where You Start From’s look at Homer’s Odyssey. [...]

O Canada… Thy History is Confused!
by heather
So I was googling the lyrics to O Canada. Purely out of laziness, so I could just copy-paste and print instead of typing them out myself.
