Components: Sessions will focus on the following areas:
Elements of literature–what makes a good book, tools of literary analysis, and the importance of teaching history through literature
Literary choices appropriate for specific historic periods and specific grade levels: how individual works contribute to historical study and cultural understanding
Practicum–a hands-on opportunity to integrate the above skills with actual works (during a working lunch time)
An overview of the Charlotte Mason approach to note booking, nature studies and keeping joy in home education
An inspirational overview of children’s books that have inspired great men and women to do great things

Hi, Rea,
I was wondering if we need to bring lunch for the “working lunch” or if lunch will be provided.
Thanks,
Courtney
Hi Courtney,
A sack lunch might be a good idea. I was thinking about making sandwiches available for purchase there also, so that folks won’t have to run out to try to get something unless they’d like to. I also got your message about the pack and play. Not sure what the facility is like, as I’ve never been, but the room is supposed to hold 100 so there should be room for you.
