Workshop
Titles:
"Overview
of the Charlotte Mason Method"
Want
happy children who are thoroughly educated? Tap in
to how children
naturally learn while you avoid burn out. Go beyond
the three
R's and enrich your lives with the humanities. Learn how to
use narration—a
powerful, effective, and free technique. With this
method you
can improve your children's level of observation and
knowledge
by replacing expensive curriculums with the finest
literature,
poetry, art, and music.
"Language
Arts for (almost) Free"
So many
language arts, so little money. As with most
things, there
is a boring way to teach children, and there is a more
interesting
way. Charlotte Mason's techniques bring an end to the
tears and
complaints for both parent and child while drastically
reducing the
cost! This workshop covers foreign language, composition,
handwriting,
literature, poetry, spelling, and dictation.
"History and Science the Charlotte Mason Way"
Retention is everything! Stop wasting your time
and
money—replace those boring workbooks with real
life. Learn how to
improve your children's power of observation
in an effective,
thorough, yet loving way. Find out how to combine
well-chosen literary
books, direct contact, and sketching for the
desired result . . .
lasting knowledge. Nature notebooks and a homemade
book of the
centuries will be covered.
"Balancing Act: To Structure or Not to Structure"
Only YOU know if you need to loosen up or tighten
up your home school efforts. Achieve the long, sought-after balance between
unschooling and planned academics by implementing Charlotte Mason’s "short
lessons." Replace dawdling with good habits so that everybody has more
free time to enjoy life.
