New Library Items
Greetings All,
It's been my joy to serve, for a short time, as your librarian at the Whole Hearted Home Educators meetings.
I just wanted to give you a preview of the new items. A complete library list in a 36 page searchable pdf will be added when my steep learning curve peaks! Thank you, Jennifer for having confidence in my abilities!
These are the new items that will be available at the March 2nd meeting. They will be set apart so you can find them efficiently.
Be Blessed,
Helen

Advancing the Movement
Nicole Hutchinson, a Charlotte Mason educator in the United States, and connected closely with ChildLight USA directed our attention to this article in the February 1 New York Times.
It is fascinating to see how Charlotte Mason's ideas of education are being spoken by people who, it is likely, have never read her material. Current educational theory is moving in a very exciting direction!
To quote another CM advocate after reading this article,

To quote another CM advocate after reading this article,
"We are on the cusp! We can even add more to what the author is suggesting."Please take a look at the article (it isn't long).
