This is so funny – I read For the Children’s Sake in the spring, and we are making a major shift to a CM approach in our homeschool this fall too!! 🙂 I started implementing a very simple morning time at the end of our last school year (pray, read from a children’s Bible, and scripture and poetry memory work). We totally had the “why are we doing this?” pushback, but after a month it was just part of our routine. We’re going with Simply CM for this year, as I’m expecting in a few weeks and needed something that had all the work already done for me for planning. Good luck on your changes!

Thank you!!

This was great! Thanks for sharing! I have been reading your blog for so long, and following what you do, curriculum-wise, and I’m really excited to hear about the changes you’re making. Over here, I’m leaning more and more toward Classical, and that entails changes too – always exciting, always scary! 🙂 Oh, and I share your feelings on nature walks! Ack! They are the death of me. I find that just turning children outside has the same desired effect, so I do try to avoid (too much of) the non-nature-walk guilt. 🙂
Amy says
Yes! I agree about just turning them loose outside. We keep the Nature Bag I spoke of, and I find that is enough to give them tools to do their own exploring.
