How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World

Reading Rainbow is on Netflix!! We do sneak in a little TV here and there ;) I was pleased to find this addition on Netflix. I have great memories of Reading Rainbow.

As I was cutting up some apples for our snack after our nature study and painting lesson we tuned in for an episode. I was so excited to see that Season 1 Episode 12's feature book is "How to Make an Apple Pie & See the World by Marion Priceman. This is a geography book listed on the Mater Amabilis prep level syllabus. I have twin girls in prep level, so we watched it, ate our apples,  and visited afterwards about where she traveled to. I then checked off geography (and nature study) for the day!



Charlotte Mason Circle Schedule

Good Morning! As my five year old twins and I venture into our first official, well sort of official, year of homeschooling I needed an easy to use schedule. We are using the Charlotte Mason method, I've devised an easy way to set up our weekly schedule using circles! I'm a visual person, and I also like to check things off a list!! So this suits me. This will be my first year working with it, so I may neet to tweak it down the road. If you see an area where I should make some changes please comment below.

I've gotten a lot of great feedback about it in some of the Charlotte Mason groups I'm in. So I've decided to set up this post so that others have access to it. You can click here for access to a public google document. The fields are all left blank so you can add your subjects and details. You just need to hit the T button (text edit) to start filling it in. The top portion is also editable. I added a few circles because the older years may need more. Once you're done, just hit the file button and create PDF or JPEG. Then print! I initially created this for Year 0, see below. Possibly, as we move on, I will add more ready made years. I'm a graphic designer, so the other option is for me to do it for you. If you need my help, I'm asking for a small payment of $10, just to cover my time. I'll fill in the top with your desired title and year and then the main subjects you want in the circles for the year. Then you will need to write in the details as you proceed through your year.
