    Book Review of ‘The Living Page: Keeping Notebooks with Charlotte Mason’ by Laurie Bestvater

    April 19, 2020

About

A little blog to bring awareness of the Classical and Charlotte Mason approach to home education (home schooling) to Irish families by showing how my family use this style: how we supplement, substitute and adapt US curriculum; include Irish history and geography; information on books fitting this approach available in our libraries; local resources and the wonderful local field trips available.

Wishing you a wonderful journey!  ~ Anna
