CM Parent Support Group
I am hoping to start a support group for parents using CM methods. I would like this group to study the CM volumes, help each other out with ideas and prayer, enjoy some mother culture, etc. Eventually, I would love to extend/create a group to include a CM co-op for the children that we love so dearly, as well.

Charlotte Mason Nature Study Days
Please join us for Charlotte Mason Nature Study Days!
We meet at nature places and parks each Friday at 10 am. Each week we focus on a specific nature study topic.
We begin with a nature read aloud that is chosen to "reveal the sort of thing to be seen with curious eyes" and fill us with the desire to make new discoveries. Then, we take a nature walk or hike, nature journal, and work on a handicraft together.

During the summer we get together as friends to let the kids play and parents chat.

A Little Charlotte Mason Co-op
We meet on a bi-weekly basis during the school year. Meetings are an informal, low-stress opportunity for mothers and children to build community while practicing a Charlotte Mason education. The exact format of the meetings is flexible and depends on the input of the mothers participating. We emphasize spending as much time outdoors as possible during all seasons. Activities may include recitation, learning a folk song, doing a picture study, going on a nature walk, drawing in a nature journal, and working on handicrafts together. Activities are designed to interest and accommodate students from a variety of ages, including younger siblings.
