Homeschooling with the Charlotte Mason method has brought so much joy to our family.
Learning about this educational philosophy helped us create a balanced life for our children and created time for interest led learning. It gave us the confidence to have a full and balanced life and to be a close and connected family. It's helped me keep growing as a person (hello Mama Culture), and given us a wide feast of learning so that we can discover our purpose and live a life of meaning.
In a typical week with The Peaceful Press elementary resources we:
🌱Read aloud from beautiful, inspiring living books.
🌱Spend time looking at birds, taking nature walks, or working in our garden.
🌱Look at amazing works of art.
🌱Read lovely poetry.
🌱Try a new recipe.
🌱Work on handcraft skills.
🌱Write narrations.
🌱Draw maps.
🌱Make timeline entries.
🌱Notebook science explorations.
🌱Sing hymns or listen to music.
🌱Study math and language.
🌱Read the Bible and pray.
Instead of childhood being all math and language arts with some sports events thrown in, my children (and myself) are learning to live in balance, to care for our environment, and to build relationships. Our lives have a mix of rest, time in nature, seat work, and movement based learning, play, and work.
We aren’t under pressure to test or to prove our progress to an arbitrary system, we have agency to build a whole life together and to prioritize what is important to us.
It’s a life of freedom and joy. Come join us today.
