When Children Love to Learn: A Practical Application of Charlotte Masons Philosophy for Today

Teachers and parents can either encourage this natural inquisitiveness or squelch it. There is joy in the classroom when children learn-not to take a test, not to get a grade, They're hallmarks of childhood. There is joy in the classroom when children learn-not to take a test, not to get a grade, not to compete with each other, and not to please their parents or their teachers-but because they want to know about the world around them!

A practical follow-up to Crossway's For the Children's Sake , this book follows a tradition of giving serious thought to what education is, so that children will be learning for life and for everlasting life.

I tend to prefer to build my practicalities on philosophy and this book gives just the right amount of both. When I first started reading it last August I thought my days of homeschooling were over but as I finish it up here in May I am thinking of how to arrange my next homeschool year with a new student.
This book has given me the tools I need to add structure to our days. Oct 11, travelgirlut rated it it was ok. This book really didn't add anything to my knowledge of how to teach under the Charlotte Mason philosophy beyond what I had gained for free off the internet. I had hoped it would have more modern applications like the title implies, but things like the internet and computers and such are only briefly mentioned in asides and not as elements of any curriculum.
The book doesn't even give a complete curriculum outline. It just gives samples from a couple grades, not enough to even build my own curri This book really didn't add anything to my knowledge of how to teach under the Charlotte Mason philosophy beyond what I had gained for free off the internet. It just gives samples from a couple grades, not enough to even build my own curriculum from. I did glean maybe two ideas from this book that I hadn't thought of before, but I don't think the time invested in the book made it worth it.
So not a book I would turn to to learn more of CM and how to teach like her.

Look for other books though there aren't many great ones and definitely on the internet. Lots of info there. Feb 02, Karen rated it really liked it Shelves: Originally read this in when I bought it from a Carole Joy Seid conference. I am so glad I highlighted it! Re-read the highlights and more and thoroughly enjoyed it. This was one of the reasons we decided to do this method of homeschooling. I love it and need to go back to this method..

I started this months ago, reading a little bit at a time. It was a really good book to conceptualize all the aspects of Charlotte Mason teaching. May 05, Kari added it Shelves: I've read most books on Charlotte Mason's philosophy but somehow I had missed this one. It has reminded me why I chose homeschooling in the first place. I want my daughter to LOVE learning not just graduate. It's been a great refresher and a real encouragement to this burned out homeschool mom. Apr 13, Bambi Moore rated it liked it Shelves: Not as good as I had hoped. My favorite applied CM philosophy book is still Andreola's.
Dec 06, Whitney Holley rated it liked it. I did this as a very slow read so I feel like it was harder for me to get back into it each time I picked this book up. If you are a Charlotte Mason purist, or wanting to be, you will find this book helpful. I am just finding that, while I d I did this as a very slow read so I feel like it was harder for me to get back into it each time I picked this book up.

What a refreshing read for those of us trying to apply Charlotte Mason principals in our daily life. Not since, For the Children's Sake, have I been so motivated to keep going to the heart of Charlotte Mason teachings and not focusing entirely on just the academic achievements of such an education. A Charlotte Mason Companion book has been invaluable tool for decades but it is best use as a reference guide to go back and refresh.
I was able to sit and read this within a good amount of time and s What a refreshing read for those of us trying to apply Charlotte Mason principals in our daily life. I was able to sit and read this within a good amount of time and still have information fresh as I begin to plan another school year. I will be reading this again with my proverbial note taking and post-it marking.

Elaine Cooper has done a phenomenal job of laying down the basic tenets parents of homeschoolers hold dear: Narration, living books, nature study-it's all here. Elaine covers a lot of ground to show how easy it can be to make learning enjoyable. Charlotte Mason fans will love this! Highly recommended for every homeschool reference library. She and her husband Ranald Macaulay established and led the L'Abri branch in England for several years.

Aside from her own words in those writings, I consider this the most helpful book I own when it comes to actually implementing her methods. Honestly, I hesitated to buy this book for quite a while because the editorial review wasn't especially glowing and there weren't many reader reviews describing its incredible attributes.
At any rate, I figured I should keep my collection complete, so I bought it to see what it had to offer. I am extremely pleasantly surprised by its content. The beauty of this book is that it was collectively written by educators who are involved with modern Charlotte Mason schools. Unbeknownst to many of the homeschooling folks who are drawn to her philosophy and methods myself included , there are actually real brick and mortar CM schools currently in the United States.
