Why Not Read Charlotte’s 1881 Elementary Geography online for free?

Yes absolutely you sure can. That’s what we did when I first started. There are also reprints out there of the 1881 version. However we used it one time and then I shelved it.

How could … Continue reading Why Not Read Charlotte’s 1881 Elementary Geography online for free?

Poetry, Art, Plan and Map Changes

Here are my thoughts and reasons for some of the changes made to Charlotte’s Geographical Reader: Poetry.Charlotte had arranged her lessons so that a poem was, itself, a lesson.

Do you Have a Loading Dock?

Several weeks ago I returned the final proofs of all the components of Living Geography so printing could begin. I hadn’t heard anything for a while. Due to the myriad of components and details to keep track of I wondered if I had forgotten to send something. But it turns out there were busy beavers printing away. Out of the blue they called Monday and … Continue reading Do you Have a Loading Dock?

Paying Attention on Reading the Poem lesson days.

In the ‘How to Use the Teacher’s Notes for First Reading Lessons’ the instructions read:Read the poem with the student. Help them with sounds and words when they need help. I suppose that is enough said. But, of course, there is more to say on it- both from my experience and from Charlotte Mason.
