2026-2027 Charlotte Mason Book Club


Welcome to our reading list for our Charlotte Mason mom book club! 

The way our group has operated the past 4 years is that we read through one of Charlotte Mason's Volumes and also a collection of Parent Review Articles that have been transcribed on the Charlotte Mason Poetry website.

I prefer to have a print copy of the articles and so I have spent time going through the publications, choosing around 3 articles a month to read, narrate, and discuss. You can find the books on Amazon here:

Book 1 / Book 2 / Book 3 / Book 4 (our current book)

Back in 2019-2020 we read through CM's Volume 3 and will be reading again this year. In 2019 I wrote out some helpful links here.

This year, we will read through the volume again and add in some Parent Review articles from Charlotte Mason Poetry. Find the links to the posts and read online for free, or order the print book.

To see a list of all the books we have read over the years, check out my ULTIMATE CHARLOTTE MASON VOLUME RESOURCE POST! (Yes, I am yelling that because it makes me so excited to see all the wonderful memories of reading and discussing these works with my friends!)

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 ...

Term 2 Hymn and Folk

Image
My daughter blessed me while we were driving in the car this week.  She said "Mommy, can we keep this CD in the car forever and ever?"  She was remarking about the current Term 1 CD that we have been studying the past few months.  I love that they have developed a relationship with these songs and it just goes to show me what a testament it is that exposure to quality music can leave a mark on the soul!  I assured her that we will always have the CD to come back to, but soon we'll have a new CD to listen to and new songs to learn!  Here are the current Term 2 songs we will be studying for folk and hymn: December Hymn - Amazing Grace I fell in love with Peter Hollens' gift a few years ago when we listened to his version of Loch Lomond! Folk - The Minstrel Boy There are various arrangements of this song but when I saw a recording by The Clancy Brothers I had to choose this recording for our listening enjoyment!  I think it's important for the kids t...
