Copy motto in best
handwriting: encourage and build
I am I can I ought I
will
Education is an
atmosphere, a discipline, a life
Keep up handwriting
a couple minutes 1-2x week.--copywork
Handwriting: a
living idea, to nourish their minds
Poetry: highest form of literature. Keep in mind twaddle.
- Could mull over and pull lots of living ideas.
- Badge: Skylark poem--to remind students and the motto.
- Give good stuff and hands on practicality.
- Look at a few lines:
- Any words that you don't know how to spell: study them, how you learn best. Picture it, trace it, whisper the letters, build with tiles, fingerspell
- Then look at capitalization and punctuation.
- Dictate lines that have been studied. Watch what they are doing. (Neighbor help.)
- Prepared dictation...always see it right, and in context, sets up habit of looking at how words are spelled as you read
- Sweet spot--no more than 3 or 4 new words.
Picture study:
Look
at it until you can close your eyes and see it clearly in your mind's eye. Look again...hang in detail in the art
gallery of your mind.
Turn
it over. Describe picture. Details, impressions, discuss/dialogue.--large
pictures to see detail. Now look again...you recognize it later b/c you have a
personal relation with the picture.
5
Minutes--do one each week for several weeks (6-8)...gives a good feel for that
artist's style.
Not
art criticism. Art appreciation. Pull stories from them. Form a personal
relation.
Chart: different subjects and CM's approach. Not a
set curriculum. It's a collection of methods to school anyone.
History:
living book, narration, book of centuries--my own connections.
Geo:
living book, narration, some map drill
Scie:
living book, narration, nature study
Spelling:
prepared dictation
Copywork:
for penmanship (early writing)
Art:
picture study
Music:
composer study (as picture), hymn, folksong
Spread a feast of
ideas. A wide curriculum. FOR ALL.
