It makes a lot of sense to me. I think it is where I have come to over the course of this year with my oldest in 2nd. My eyes are opening more and more to the desirable qualities in MFW that I want in my home school. My brief try of HOD, last fall, also opened my eyes further. Now this CM book is making it even make more sense. It is wonderful to understand more about home schooling overall, MFW, and Charlotte Mason.MelissaM wrote: When I finally came back to MFW, I just had a much firmer handle on what I was looking for - and that made it easy to see the desirable qualities in MFW - does that make sense?
Pioneers and Patriots was an enjoyable book that I think could be classified as a "living book." It does look like a text book initially, but we liked the stories of children to help us understand what it was during various time periods/regions. My daughter enjoyed it because it was in the form of engaging short stories, and she liked the illustrations.bethinga wrote:I was just looking through the books I received for Adventures, and a couple of the history books seem more like text books than living books. What has been your experience? Did your kids enjoy these books? I'm referring to The Story of the US and Pioneers and Patriots.
