I just recently discovered you and am binge watching your videos (as much as a homeschool mother can). I just saw that you have only been around for 2 years or so!! I love your personality and aesthetics and everything! I so look forward to more, and I NEED MORE videos!!! I am actually not a Charlotte Mason Mama but you are quickly converting me! Much support and encouragement! Even considering joining your MN.
So happy to have you here! I typically stick with philosophy and principles so everybody can learn and take something to apply to their own lives (even if they're not homeschooling!). These are the living ideas for all persons! But, yes, I'm very partial to Miss Mason and the classical tradition and will try to yank you through the classical wardrobe if you hang around here (or the podcast) for very long...You've been warned!
I love reading a line or passage so profoundly beautiful that it just rolls around in your head and heart for a while. I hadn’t heard of a commonplace book until your channel, but I just made the first entry in mine. Thank you for the inspiration to jot down the lovely bits of books or lectures that I want to remember if for no other reason than reliving the joy they bring.
Yay! So glad I found this video - I am attempting this same thing this year too! Please post updates as you go throughout the year! I'd love to see how it goes
Will do! So far, I'm a big fan of it! I'm still learning a lot about bullet journaling. Once I finish all of my open tabs (ha!), I may tweak the daily organization!
Not related to the video lol but can’t get enough of your content 🎉 would love a video on your favorite RU-vidrs and podcasts. Curious who is inspiring YOU! Pretty sure I would enjoy similar channels 😊
my planner looks like a hot mess compared to yours. yours is like the ideal pretty one XD I never can find the same color pen and usually am in a rush :P but I love it.
Episode Idea :) Would love a breakdown of the differences between "Classical Conversations and CM". Love your channel! Heard about you through Katie from Now That We're A Family.
Oh, so fun. I always enjoy watching one of her videos. Is the question about Classical Conversations (the program/curriculum) and CM or "classical education" and CM? If you haven't caught this episode, you'll hear me explain the differences between the neo-classical movement (like CC) and classical education (Mason is classical in this sense!): podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-11-getting-to-the-curriculum-principle-13/id1568956517?i=1000570685630
@@thecommonplacehomeschool Thanks for the quick response :D The question was about the CC program/curriculum vs the CM program. My sister was asking me what the difference was and I didn't know...I will def. check out that episode as I haven't yet listened to it.
@@daniellenicohl6343 the episode will give the most help (in terms of philosophy and pedagogy) but the quick facts for the foundations years (I'm not familiar beyond that): CC offers facts without ideas as a "grammar" stage where Mason believed children should be given full, living ideas (and facts clothed in ideas). (This is known as synthetic versus analytic presentation.) CC begins earlier than CM. (The formal year beginning around six for the CM child. Before that, no formal lessons.) CC is a system, wherein you must "do it their way" where CM is a method which has an end in mind but you can take a number of general paths to get there. CC does not align with Mason's understanding in the following principles: 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14-15 (maybe? I don't know if they use narration in CC.), and 20. Now there are plenty of groups and articles about how to Masonize a CC education, but it takes a good bit of work from the mom!
In a previous video's comments you had mentioned you're an Orthodox inquirer, are you following the Orthodox (also I think they have old and new calendar) or the Western liturgical calendar?
We follow the (new) Orthodox calendar now. Previously we followed the western. ( We were in an Anglican church for years and I'm still most familiar with those practices/rhythms.)
1st: The video has nothing to do with the title, “How I organize my mother’s notebooks.” (The title implies that she’s referring to her mother.) 2nd: She talks TOOOOO fast! FRUSTRATING! 3rd: She goes through each section of the notebook that it’s next to impossible to know what she’s talking about and how to do it. By flipping through the pages so quickly, I can’t see what her journal is like. If she really wanted viewers to learn anything from her; she would slow down, and explain a bit more. Yes, she doesn’t want to show her personal notations; but she could do better by saying exactly what she’s “trying” to share.
Well, hey there! A "mother's notebook" is a phrase in the Charlotte Mason world and it's for that audience that I make these videos. Group lingo can be confusing, but I hope you get your mom's notebooks organized for her!
