Charlotte Mason had great faith in us mothers to know what to teach our children and how. She said, “but the mother…will find a hundred opportunities to teach geography by the way…. Indeed, the whole field of Pictorial Geography…may be covered in this way.” So stay tuned to today’s podcast to hear her ideas on how to go about this daunting feat while our children are still in the early years.

Evaluation of our students' Science studies can be difficult to quantify! Don't let the process of their exams derail from the core of Charlotte Mason's principles - education is the act of forming 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴.

What sort of relationship has your child formed with his or her studies this term? Where do you see curiosity, or perhaps improvement in working independently or following experiment procedures? How has the ability to observe and question grown? Are you able to learn more about the subject from listening to their explanations?
