That said, I will openly admit to being a Charlotte Mason method groupie. <3
Whole and living books, handicrafts, nature study, family read aloud times, real-life, hands on learning, narration in the form of meaningful conversations and discussions and an emphasis on forming connections to and relationships with an abundance of interesting ideas, topics, people, things and experiences. *sigh* Truly makes my heart feel all warm and fuzzy.
The Charlotte Mason method may lose me with its implied schedule and structure, but the spirit of the approach has certainly captured my heart.
So in my continuing search for more like-minded souls, I have started a new Facebook group - Unschooling Charlotte Mason. This is a group for unschoolers and interest-led learners who are interested in incorporating the lovely ideas of the Charlotte Mason method into their family's lifestyle of learning.

Unschooling...with a Charlotte Mason flair. :)
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteWe also love whole and living books, readalouds, discussions, art and handicrafts and lots of other things that fit right in with a Charlotte Mason type education. We've taken what we like and we use it in our own unstructured way. I guess some things don't belong exclusively to Charlotte Mason, though we tend to associate them with her method of education.
I am enjoying reading your posts. Thank you for visiting my blog!
Thanks Sue. :) What I find with CM is continued inspiration and encouragement. We too take what we like, what fits us, and set the rest aside. There's a whole lotta stuff sitting off to the side...;)
