Every subject in a Charlotte Mason education starts out very gentle and natural, but starts to pick up the pace in Form 2. Geography is no different. So on today's podcast we're looking at the next step in this subject.
What do Geography lessons look like once formal schooling begins? What in the world are "map questions" and how can my kids answer them if they aren't fluent readers? On today's podcast we explore the next step in our children's education and how Geography is truly a delightful subject for lower elementary students in years one through three.
Charlotte Mason had great faith in us mothers to know what to teach our children and how. She said, "but the mother will find a hundred opportunities to teach geography by the way." Indeed, the whole field of Pictorial Geography may be covered in this way. So stay tuned to today's podcast to hear her ideas on how to go about this daunting feat while our children are still in the early years.
Today we're embarking on a new subject series, one very adjacent to Science, but also adjacent to History. That is the subject of Geography. Join us today on the podcast to get an overview of this amazing subject's scope and sequence across a child's education, and find out why Charlotte Mason considered this the most delightful subject of all.
If you've been following along with our series on Charlotte Mason Science lessons, you likely have some lingering questions. We'll address many common queries that we hear from parents and teachers about Science and Nature Study on the podcast today.
