Natural History Clubs are a great way to learn the Mason way of being outside. Begin with some wondering questions. Take a walk and find some amazing things. Wrap up with more questions and journaling. 💭 #cmpeoria

Field Day! Loads of teachers were celebrating the end of the school year with their students in May. With lots of physical activity and joy! Yeah moms for finishing well! Yeah kids for running the race! “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, …and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Hebrews 12 #halfmilerace #gunnysackrace #threeleggedrace #eggandspoonrace #cmpeoria

Some say there isn’t a Magic formula for charact

Some say there isn’t a Magic formula for character development. It’s not as easy as Mrs Piggle-Wiggle although she has given inspiration to many young minds. Formation of real character requires many inspiring ideas found in living books, life lessons, much time and the continual guiding of the Holy Spirit- invited everyday into your home learning. Won’t you join us beginning in June as we discuss Volume 5, Formation of Character by Miss Mason. Each sketch of a child/person and their growth will give us inspiring ideas as we grow alongside our children. #cmpeoria #charlottemasoneducation

Our group has only one more month of reading Ourse

Our group has only one more month of reading Ourselves. The fruitful discussion each month has often included the encouragement to read hard classic books. Found in Ourselves by Mason are hundreds of quotes and references to other books to inspire growth of self-our conscience, our will. Have you been inspired to read more? What rabbit trails have you followed based on Masons references to inspiring ideas from books?

Nature study is a weekly part of a #charlottemasoneducation. Moms/teachers can model a love for nature by taking the time to get out in nature themselves and learn. Here are some the local moms on a hunt for the first spring flower in Illinois- skunk cabbage. The joy of success of a six mile hunt! #cmpeoria #motherculture #mothernature
