How To Use A Charlotte Mason Approach With Any Curriculum

Hey, homeschoolers! I know many of you love the Charlotte Mason approach to homeschooling. But if the popularity of my interview with Cindy West on a sane approach to Charlotte Mason homeschooling is any indication, you want tips for making Charlotte Mason work for your family. My guest today is going to show us how to use Charlotte Mason methods with any curriculum. Before I introduce her, I want to tell you that Grammar Galaxy is a perfect curriculum to use with the Charlotte Mason method. Grammar Galaxy is not a dry textbook approach. It uses stories that engage elementary students. The lessons are also short. You can spend just 10-15 minutes per session focused on formal learning. But it's not that formal. In fact, every lesson includes an activity that is not seatwork. If you'd like to incorporate nature study into your homeschool, you'll want to claim a free lesson I created on literary symbolism. Then grab the free nature study printables from Nature Explorers to use along with it. Find the links to both downloads here. Podcast Sponsor I also want to thank my sponsor for this episode:  the Homeschool Moms Science Podcast This new podcast is specifically geared toward helping homeschool moms teach and enjoy science.
