No more holding back for me… Yep I’m totally commited this year. I have taken the plunge and on Aug. 30th we will starting school up again. Over the summer I ordered Sonya Shafer’s CM Planning kit, her CM Conference set, and her Laying Down the Rails set. After watching all of these and reading the books, I was totally hooked. I had dabbled in the CM way before but never making the commitment for all subjects nor having narrations.
Charlotte Mason has changed our homeschool this year. On Aug. 10th I was done planning the whole year out, that has never happened before. I usually started school running behind on the planning or not having all the money together for all books needed. This year, not only do I have all books necessary, I am able to buy some extra science readers for fun!!
My biggest cost this year is going to be the SCM Organizer at $10 a month. WhooHoo, not that costly and I’m thinking of just going ahead and paying for a yearly subscription and saving on 2 months of payments. Because of this and the Planning DVD, I have had extra time this summer to spend with my kids. Both are soooo worth the cost. I’m thinking about ordering the newly published Books & Things Seminar, I know it’s as good as the other SCM products. I love spending money on the things (books, SCM products) that are going to be loved for a long time in our home.
More thoughts to come…..
