Freedom in the City of Books



The teacher who allows his scholars the freedom of the city of books is at liberty to be their guide, philosopher and friend; and is no longer the mere instrument of forcible intellectual feeding.

A Basket full of Resources for a Charlotte Mason Education {Day 5/5 Back to School Blog Hop}

A Basket full of Resources for a Charlotte Mason Education
At the beginning of the year I attended a Charlotte Mason afternoon and was overwhelmed with the beauty of this approach to education.  There were so many inspirational stories and insightful comments through out the afternoon.  One of the books I came across that day was The Living Page: Keeping Notebooks with Charlotte Mason by Laurie Bestvater.  It arrived in the mail today and I'm looking forward to reading it.

The arrival of this book sparked the idea of sharing with you some of the lovely resources I discovered at the Charlotte Mason afternoon. One of the topics which inspired me and caught my attention was that of written work in a Charlotte Mason Homeschool.
