Do you follow a Charlotte Mason Philosophy of Education? Maybe parts of it?

Have you looked at A Gentle Feast and found that you’re curious?

Well this is my review of Cycle 2, wars, Whigs,
and Washington. This is my second year using AGF as the spine to our home education. Yes, I plan to use it again going forward. I don’t really like the jumping around in curriculum as I think it will create some inconsistencies in my children’s education.

A GENTLE FEAST IS DIFFERENT THAN CONVENTIONAL APPROACHES.

If you have been teaching from A Charlotte Mason method then you know this already. A Gentle Feast is surely different than a traditional style approach. While it includes all of your core academics such as reading, language arts, science, history, and geography. True to a Charlotte Mason education, it also gently blends in morning time plans and beauty subjects.

I have to pause here a moment and mention this but don’t you just love that term? “Beauty Subjects” Does that term sort of conjure up a sense of delight and yearning for your child’s education?
