Clockwise: What a Day Is for

Clockwise centers around Charlotte Mason’s ideas on time and human-paced education. Day One finds us living a typical day of Mason’s practices with experienced teachers guiding the flow and variety of her carefully crafted schedule. From Morning Gathering through lessons in Number, Reading, History, and Copy Work, to Afternoon Undertakings in Nature Study, Singing, and Handcraft, we enjoy learning in parallel. Later, reflection, and discussion over afternoon tea allow for an exploration of the nuances of the day from a student’s perspective. Evening is reserved for food and friendship, story, and song.

On our second day we gather specially selected portions of Mason’s philosophy in an assortment of offerings. Presentations, readings, drawing, and meditation help us to search out the whys of her pedagogy. The import of living in time, being unhurried, simplicity, habits, the teaching of history, Book of Centuries, and planning lessons are some of the matters we pause over. We preserve time for quiet attention to our classroom rhythms and consultation with presenters. Clockwise culminates with the shared meal — time to enjoy simple foods, and grand conversation as we reflect on “what a day is for.”
