I've been inactively looking for something that was peaceful and reflective for my family and I had to check the Peaceful Press out when my friend introduced it to me. I love the marriage between Charlotte Mason and Montessori schools of thought and how Christ is the centre of it all. My daughter and I work on one lesson per week, and I so appreciate that we are encouraged to reflect and spend moments with God as part of the start of the week through this curriculum. My 5 year old LOVES memorising the Scriptures each week, and we talk about what those Scriptures mean. Can't wait to get through it all and purchase other units.
This is our 5th year doing peaceful press curriculum and are enjoying the new precious people! I especially like how we visit a new continent each month. It feels like the year flows smoothly and has been fun to watch my kids grow in their abilities to study and learn about different cultures even in two months! We have only done the first two months but so far the two main chapter read alouds left us wanting more depth. If I do this year again, I would choose heftier books to read through the month. I also think it would make much more sense to include the actual recipes within the curriculum instead of mentioning the recipe but having it in a separate PDF that you need to buy. Otherwise, we’ve enjoyed everything else!
I am a bit of a chore chart junkie, and I found this specific tool to be one of the most useful to date. The pictures are charming! I also appreciated that it had cards for things that were a little more Charlotte Mason inspired such as Copywork and tea and poetry and morning time. For the price, I am not sure if you can beat this set!
Such a great resource for keeping my little family on track!
