My Charlotte Mason Moment
Charlotte Mason is a homeschool method based from a woman in the 1800's named...Charlotte Mason (how's that for a deep-thought provoking sentence). Anyhow her method in brief is great novels, short, focused lessons, art, music, handiwork, narration, copywork, and nature study. Love the nature study part- hardly ever get to it. Yesterday was a beautiful day so I decided to read to the kids outside under my favorite tree which blooms for about 1 week a year. I decided since I was posting pictures of the tree I would find out what kind it is. After 20 minutes tracking it down on the computer here it is.
Golden-chain tree is a stunning, small tree noted for its long, pendulous clusters of flowers. A member of the pea family, Laburnum x Watereri is a hybrid cross between the common and Scotch laburnum.
Do I have to tell the kids what I learned for it to be counted as schooling? I've discovered one of the great things about teaching homeschooling is how much I'm learning.
And aren't you in awe of my 3 posts in 2 days? And the figuring out the pictures? My next project might be adding links.
