Product Description

Join us for hours of encouragement and practical help with the Charlotte Mason method!

Friday, October 2 (Doors open at 8:30 A.M.)

  • Session 1—The Early Years and Teaching Your Child to Read (9:00–11:00 A.M.)

    Give your child what is most important. Instead of academic or social pressures, Charlotte Mason encouraged mothers to give their little ones a full six years of developing good habits, getting acquainted with nature, exploring with the five senses, growing in their spiritual lives, and more. Learn how to give your child a quiet growing time.

    Plus, discover Charlotte Mason’s truly gentle approach to teaching reading. This simple plan will carry your child from learning the alphabet to building words to feeling at home in the fascinating world of books.

  • Session 2—Language Arts: It’s a Natural Progression (11:15 A.M.–12:30 P.M.)

    Teaching language arts doesn’t have to be complicated. Discover what exactly is included in language arts and how the Charlotte Mason Method simply follows the natural progression of learning to use language well. Gather lots of practical tips for teaching language arts in an enjoyable and simple way—the Charlotte Mason way.

  • Lunch Break (12:30–2:00 P.M.)

  • Q&A with Sonya (2:00–2:30 P.M.)

  • Session 3—The 5 Gifts of Intentional Parents (2:30–3:30 P.M.)

    We all know that parenting requires giving: giving our time, our sleep, our money, our space, our attention, and more! So what are the best gifts parents can give? Discover the five gifts that intentional parents give their children to prepare them for life—all centered around the key word TEACH—along with lots of practical tips for giving them.

  • Session 4—Reaching Your Child’s Heart (3:45–4:45 P.M.)

    A mommy-to-mommy challenge about priorities in your home school. Sonya shares six ways to reach your child’s heart—taken from Elizabeth’s example in Luke 1—and three obstacles that can keep us from reaching the heart.

Saturday, October 3 (Doors open at 8:30 A.M.)

  • Session 5—Learning with Living Books (9:00–10:15 A.M.)

    Good living books feed our children a feast of ideas, not just dry facts. Join Sonya for a look at this simple, yet effective, approach to true education. Learn what makes living books “living,” and practice using them in a way that makes learning stick.

  • Session 6—Fine Arts the Charlotte Mason Way (10:30–11:15 A.M.)

    You don’t have to be a music major or an art aficionado to teach fine arts to your children. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll discover an easy yet effective way to give your children music appreciation and art appreciation that will enrich their lives and yours!

  • Session 7—When More Is Less (11:30 A.M.–12:30 P.M.)

    It’s easy to get caught up in the mentality that we’ve got to add more: we must do more, we must get more, and our children must study more. More, more, more! But the funny thing is that when we keep adding more, we usually end up with less of what really matters. Come discover the richness that simplicity can bring to your schedule, your home, and your children’s education.

  • Lunch Break (12:30–2:00 P.M.)

  • Q&A with Sonya (2:00–2:30 P.M.)

  • Session 8—The Quiet Schooling of Nature (2:30–3:30 P.M.)

    We all have a fascinating science resource right outside our doors, but we often overlook it because it is so quiet. Come learn how nature study lays the foundation for science lessons, how to get started, and how to keep a nature notebook, plus fun and simple nature study ideas for the whole family.

  • Session 9—Looking Past the Fear (3:45–4:45 P.M.)

    Making the decision to homeschool may not be an easy one, and sticking to your decision may become even harder when the inevitable challenges arise. This workshop provides an encouraging look at God’s response to five fears that homeschooling moms face: fear of what God is calling you to do, fear of being inadequate for the job, fear of what might happen in the future, fear of ridicule or rejection, and fear of our weak areas ruining our children. Learn how to rely on God’s guidance and the strengths He has provided you, and to trust Him to take you through your areas of weakness.
