Here is a wonderful blog post that goes along with Sonya’s recent “More is Less” topic. This is one of the things that resonated so deeply with me at the Charlotte Mason Institute conference this month and Christy Hissong writes about it so wonderfully that I had to share. http://www.afterthoughtsblog.net/2014/06/secrets-from-charlotte-mason-on.html
Read and be at peace when scheduling for the coming year!
Blessings,
Christie

It’s wonderful. Christy is a good friend and a member of my library. She has learned so much on this topic in the last year and was looking forward to sharing her heart on this.

I looked at the timetable. questions? Does Numbers = math? Repetition parable = literature? What is sol-fa? What is the difference between reading and continue reading?
I love this outline and it gives me a great guide, but yes, I am still new to all this.

Yes, number = math. Repetition is memory work. Sol-fa is a singing method (think sound of music – doe a deer…).

What is copy work? It says Printing and Writing but they are both only 1 day each.

Am I the only one that feels like this would be a huge change to your day? So if we’re doing the afternoon with a nature walk, journal, etc then that would probably replace the quiet time hour in my house. Otherwise, they would have no free play. Where in the day are the hours of play that CM also recommended? Maybe I’m missing something…

I’m trying to craft this similarly to how Christy plugged in her materials to the PNEU schedules, but I get so lost when it comes to having multiple children in various forms. It looks amazing, but really hard to organize the morning and afternoon time so beautifully with lots of ages under one roof with one mama. 🙂

It is important to remember that the classrooms in Charlotte’s schools had multiple adults AND that each form was separate. Your homeschool isn’t going to look just like Charlotte’s schools with multiple kids and one adult. It isn’t possible. Remember it is about principles and philosophy not a set of how-tos. The BIG point to get is not to schedule too much and to cut back when you find that you have.
