A Practical Application of Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy for Today by Elaine Cooper

“When Children Love to Learn: A Practical Application of Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy for Today helps to bridge the gap between ‘traditional’ schools and home schools trying to apply the CM philosophies to the school day.

A collection of essays by ‘traditional’ school educators – those who have implemented the philosophies in ‘real schools’ both private and public – apply just as much to the home school environment. You’ll find how schools have implemented CM’s picture studies, nature journaling and handicrafts into their daily lesson plans. Tweaked a bit, the advice from these veterans can be translated to the homeschool schoolroom.

Mason’s techniques such as narration, living books and the absence of ‘twaddle’ are translated into American classrooms and, again with tweaking, into American homeschools. Proven practices of how to implement the four pillars of education – education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life, a relationship between teacher and student – within a classroom setting are invaluable to the homeschool setting.

The focus of a CM classroom – whether a private, public or home school – is the child as an individual made in the image and likeness of God and with the attendant responsibilities to be nurtured and taught accordingly.

The second section of the book – An Applied Philosophy – takes all the CM techniques and develops weekly lesson plans and sample schedules for lower and middle schools. This is by necessity a broad-brush approach to lesson planning, but still has some gems of wisdom.

If you’re interested in CM philosophy and education methods, this book When Children Love to Learn: a Practical Application of Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy for Today is a great addition to your resource shelf.”

Jesus came that our joy may be full, but life doesn’t always seem joyful does it? Our lives as homeschooling Catholics should be a source of joy. Finding real ways to both find joy and keep joy are important in our stressful, busy lives especially when there seem to be so many situations and people who seem intent on taking our joy away. There can be real joy in our lives if we just allow it to happen!
