2018/2019 Artist

I am in my preparation stage and love sharing materials that help make homeschooling easier for my friends!  To keep things in a quick and easily accessible place, visit the links below to download and print your picture study cards for each Term.  We follow the Ambleside Online artist schedule for our home and co-op.  I'm also including links to helpful websites for each artist!

Term 1 - John Constable
Term 2 - Johannes Vermeer
Term 3 - John William Waterhouse

It's the year of the Johns! (There's got to be a joke in there....LOL!)  While looking for some easy biography and historical resources for each artist, I did find that I really like how this website is organized: https://www.artble.com/

Each artist is represented within the website and most of their important works are listed with critiques and explanations of important features.

If you need more information about how a Charlotte Mason artist study is implemented in your homeschool, I found this article very detailed!

And if you are not able to print for free at home, I found that the prices at The Homeschool Printing Company are VERY reasonable and will save you money if you can plan ahead for the shipping time.  You can upload your documents and order here!
(You can even choose cardstock and lamination to allow your picture study cards to last longer!)

Folk Dance

Community dancing is such a wonderful activity for all ages!  I have seen the question pop up in many homeschool groups about suggestions for resources to teach folk dances so I want to share some of my favorites from teaching music and dance to elementary students in public school and our homeschool groups!  If you have the opportunity to find a group already in place to attend and learn dances and observe how they teach you will have a better understanding of how to approach this in a group setting!  You may feel like at the beginning like you are herding a bunch of cats but that's ok!!!  Practice and consistency will improve the process! Cited Material First, I want to just say how blessed I am that I have been fortunate to have training under the most talented folk dance and movement specialists.  I feel like my education and experience has been in the "golden" age through first hand workshops by the following professionals.   New England Dancing Mast

Tennessee Living History Curriculum

I am not a native Tennessean but always felt drawn to the state even when I was a kid growing up in Michigan.  My grandma loved watching Hee Haw and the Grand Ole Opry and was a huge Minnie Pearl fan!  My first trip to the state was in 1992 to East Tennessee and over several other trips I landed in the state for good at 17 years old in 1997 and moved to the Nashville area in 2002.  I feel very blessed to have landed here after graduating college and I LOVE raising my kids in this part of the state.   As part of our homeschool curriculum, I taught a Tennessee history class and enjoyed several years of studying the history on my own! There are several public domain resources that I combined into a free guide that you can   download here .    Within the guide you will find a schedule of lessons that can guide you through learning about the history of our state.  Charlotte Mason lessons approach learning as a method, not a system so I am not detailing lesson plans of objectives, tests,
