We're also arranging a Q&A panel with moms who have been implementing CM for years, so bring those narration and math questions!
We'll learn about who Miss Mason is, why we listen to her advice about home education, and yes, even parenting.
We'll also hear about where she thinks God fits into education, and what THREE instruments a teacher can use with her students.

CORE VALUES & BELIEFS
To nurture spiritual and creative growth that enriches the family through community, living education, creativity, entrepreneurship, and stewardship. These five goals and outcomes are the heartbeat of what we value and will pursue as we move forward.
Community: Cultivate and nurture a Christ-Centered Community to live in harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus. So that together we may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one voice. (Romans 15:5-7)

Creativity: To grow creatively, realizing that we possess the creator's creativity and, through Christ's transforming power, will be fully equipped to be molded into our purpose to glorify God. (Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 64:8, 2 Timothy 2:21)
Entrepreneurship: Encouraging families to use ingenuity and imagination to tangibly pursue God-given giftings in every season of life and to model purposefully committing all our work to the Lord. (Proverbs 16:3, Colossians 3:23, Proverbs 3:5-6)
Stewardship: Stewarding our time, talent, and finances to further the mission to preserve the family and live out our lives in a meaningful and intentional way that is pleasing to the Lord. (1 Peter 4:10, Ephesians 2:10 Ephesians 5:8-10)

New CM Group – Shelbyville, KY Area
My name is Heather and I'm moving to Eminence, KY (north of Shelbyville) in May 2024. I would like to start up a Charlotte Mason Group in this general area, as I don't see an existing group here on the CM In Community website.
I plan to start a weekly Nature Study with my kids (including nature walk, nature journaling, read-aloud) and probably sing a hymn and read a poem. I'm planning to get started right away and meet all summer long, right into the next school year. We have four children, ages 9, 6, 4, and 2.
If any mums want to gather monthly for a Mom's Night Out, I'd be happy to host starting in the fall. We could read through Miss Mason's volumes, read other great books, study the principles together, etc.
Please let me know if you'd like to join us! We'd love for some families to learn along with us, and help us get to know this new area! We're up for traveling to parks and outdoor spots in between Louisville and Lexington.
