As I return to the opening pages of Home Education As I return to the opening pages of Home Education this month, I am struck by how often Miss Mason talks about exposure to nature as an investment for the future. “It would be difficult to overrate this habit of seeing and storing as a means of after-solace and refreshment,” she writes. She stresses that this investment should begin early: “a love of Nature, implanted so early that it will seem to them hereafter to have been born in them, will enrich their lives with pure interests, absorbing pursuits, health, and good humour.” A happy surprise for me is that these benefits are not reserved for those who were brought up on nature study. They can be felt even by those who begin nature study as part of the education of their own children. My first solo nature walk after the formal graduation of all of my children was a moment of interest. It felt no different. No homeschool programme compelled me to go out. Just an absorbing pursuit, a pure interest, that I can hardly remember not having. Our children grow up, and those magical years of school at home never come back, at least not in quite the same way. But the flowers remain. They are new every morning, waiting to be discovered, admired, and drawn. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #naturewalk #brushdrawing #watercolornature #naturejournal
Have you ever tried bird stalking? Charlotte Maso Have you ever tried bird stalking? Charlotte Mason called it a “gentle art.” Children are instructed to be quiet as mice, moving softly and slowly, creeping on hands and knees if need be, until an unknown song was tracked to its source. Once the songster is found, they’re to remain as still and silent as possible, watching the bird and learning its habits. Binoculars may be used. I was curious whether this old-fashioned practice might still have a place in modern birding, so I asked Amy Harbach—a Charlotte Mason mama, certified naturalist, and bird photographer @lakedistrictlovelies—if she uses “bird stalking” to photograph our feathered friends. “Absolutely,” she said. She told me that the people in the birding community who are good stalkers—quiet and respectful of the birds—often see more than those who are loud. “The birds are more at ease with peace-filled people.” And if you are slow and quiet, she says, and willing to wait, “the birds become curious about you and will come closer.” Perhaps that is one of the gifts of nature study: the more gently we enter the natural world, the more it reveals itself to us. @rbaburina Image credit: @lakedistrictlovelies . . . . . . . . . #birdstalking #naturenotebook #naturewalk #charlottemasonliving #motherculture
“Oh, well, I’ve always done that in my school.” “ “Oh, well, I’ve always done that in my school.” “Narration, or reproduction as we call it, is as old as the hills.” “Yes, we’ve always used books and my children have done silent study for a long time, indeed I find I have always been working on the P.N.E.U. methods,” — — “if I haven’t, what is the difference?” When talking to family, friends, and neighbors, have you ever heard remarks like this? People who say they’ve been “doing Charlotte Mason” all along, even if they never called it that? Elsie Kitching certainly heard remarks like this. Finally, in 1921, she decided to answer the question: “What is the difference?” Is the Charlotte Mason method what everyone has been doing all along? Or is Elsie Kitching on to something? Find out for yourself and read or hear her assertion that there is indeed a difference. Find it at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff
“When our Lord spoke of giving us life more abunda “When our Lord spoke of giving us life more abundantly, what did He mean? That is what we have to ask ourselves again and again. I believe life should be looked upon as one long opportunity, opportunity to enjoy, to learn, to serve; opportunity not to be seized upon feverishly in case it is beyond us or escapes us, but to be taken quietly, joyously, fearlessly. I believe that the whole structure of the Parents’ Union School education helps towards that abundant life.” (“Education in the Parents’ Union School” by Mrs. Shelley, PR47) @tessakeath
