Meet Ana Willis and her unhurried Charlotte Mason homeschool approach.

Our Unhurried Charlotte Mason Homeschool Approach

Tell us about you and your family.

I’m a stay-at-home mom of 3 and we live in Prince Edward Island, Canada. My son is 8 (2nd grade) and my daughters are 6 (1st grade) and 4 (K).

How long have you been homeschooling?

We are finishing our 3rd year of homeschool. I had no idea what I was doing at first, but I figured out my kids were still very young and I had time to find out how this homeschool thing works. Now, 3 years later, I think I know what I am doing. LOL

Tell us about your homeschooling approach.

Our homeschool approach is unhurried, focused on the quality of our school work (perfect execution) more than on the quantity of assignments completed, so we take our time learning around here.

We follow mostly a Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education and we use a literature base curriculum called Sonlight. Our homeschooling days are filled with lots of great read-aloud books and instead of plain textbooks, we use living books for History, Geography, Science and even for Language Arts.

What is the Charlotte Mason approach like?

The foundation of a Charlotte Mason education is living the abundant Christian life (John 10:10). She believed education is an atmosphere (learning from the world around us instead of a sterile and contrive “learning environment”), a discipline (developing right habits) and a life (students need a breadth of ideas: God, creation, man and his ideas).

Charlotte encouraged  the use of living books instead of textbooks, short lessons, copywork from well-written books, narrations, habit training, perfect execution, few lectures, spending time outdoors for nature studies to observe and learn from God’s creation, and encouraged the children to be surrounded by beautiful things like poetry, music, and arts (atmosphere).

Year-round homeschooling or traditional calendar homeschooling?

We chose to homeschool year around taking a few breaks when we feel the need to, like when I have my parents coming for a long visit or when we have a chance to go on a vacation or simply because I think a break is necessary for rest and reevaluation of our homeschool progress.
 
During the Summer, we have an even more relaxed approach and spend more days outside, taking our books to parks or to the beach and going out for nature walks. Our Summers are very short in Prince Edward Island and our Winters very long so we try to adjust our learning according to the seasons.
 
Unhurried Charlotte Mason

Tell us about your unhurried Charlotte Mason homeschooling routine.

Our routine is relaxed, unhurried and we follow our family rhythm instead of a schedule. We don’t always begin our lessons at the same time but mostly around our breakfast meal, depending on how early or late we get up.

DAILY CHORES (15-30 min.)

We start our days with simple chores like making beds, putting dirty clothes in the laundry basket and brushing teeth. Note I don’t mention getting dressed because some days we just stay in our PJs until bath time!

Unhurried Charlotte Mason
Some of the books in our morning basket.

MORNING BASKET (45 min. to 1 hr)

Once we made downstairs for breakfast we do what we call our “morning basket” portion of the day: literally I pull a basket where I keep our Bible and books we are reading about Habit Training, Poetry, Biographies, and other read aloud books. I read to my children while we have breakfast. This is when we pray together and spend a good time in discussions and narrations.

TABLE TIME (1 to 2 hour)

Our table time is our Language Arts and Math learning time. We start with handwriting, copywork, and alternate between spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. Followed by our online Math lessons, which each one does it in a separate device. At this point, Language Arts and Math are done mostly independently and each one has their own book/iPad to work on, this is a time when I clean up my kitchen and do a few chores around the house while they learn quietly.

LUNCH BREAK (1 to 1/2 hour)

We take a long break for lunch and play time. My kids usually do their piano practice on Piano Wizard or on the actual piano during this time and off they go play outside or in the playroom while I do laundry, read emails, work on the blog, etc.

HomeschoolAFTERNOON LEARNING (1 hour)

Around 1:30 or 2 pm, we gather again in the living room to do our reading for History, Geography or to do a Science lesson together, depending on the day of the week. We do history and geography twice a week and science twice a week, leaving Fridays for art. Because we use Sonlight Cores (Bible, History, Geography, and Science), these subjects are done with all children together. Once our reading is done and their binder/notebook’s work is completed, we usually watch a short video about the subject or work on a lapbook project together.

FUN FRIDAYS

On Fridays we do something different from the other days, although we still do handwriting and math, we do Poetry Teatime and choose between a hymn/music study, art appreciation or studying the life of a composer/painter instead of doing all the subjects we would normally do from Monday to Thursday. Our Friday’s afternoon are normally free to go to the library, the park or have a playdate with some homeschool friends.

Complete the sentence: Our homeschooling happens mostly at…

Our dining room table for sure, and also around our coffee table. We don’t use our homeschool room very often.

Unhurried Charlotte Mason
Getting back into your homeschooling routine no matter how long or short a homeschool break can be challenging, these 3 tips can help you ease back into it!

What have you picked for your curriculum next year?

I did. When we bought our Sonlight Core B (Bible, History, Geography, and Science) last year, we bought it with the intention to do it in two years instead of one because our children are still very young and we could do our studies at a slower pace until the youngest one could catch up with our homeschool routine while the oldest ones would become better readers and more independent.

The new exciting additions I picked for this year are Grammar Galaxy Nebula, CTC Math, Simply Charlotte Mason Picture Study Set, The Picture Smart Bible NT, Character Trails, The Handbook of Nature Studies and the Poetry Teatime Companion. Along with our curriculum, we use resources from Notebookingpages.com and homeschoolcopywork.com.

homeschool
I have not listed all of the books we will be reading, but I think this will give you a good idea of our curriculum.

 

List 3 books about homeschooling that really impacted you.

  • For the Children’s Sake: Foundations of Education for Home and School by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay.
  • Charlotte Mason Companion: Personal Reflections on the Gentle Art of Learning by Karen Andreola.
  • The Unhurried Homeschooler: A Simple, Merciful Short Book on Homeschooling by Durenda Wilson.

Your family is going on an unplanned trip, not much time to pack, you must homeschool the kids while traveling and you can only take 5 of your homeschooling resources/books with you. What would you take?

  1. Bible.
  2. Notebook.
  3. iPad.
  4. A good read-aloud book.
  5. My pencil-case.

If you had the chance to start homeschooling all over again today with the knowledge and experience you have now, what would you do differently?

I would never force my children to finish every math problem on every page! Once they have mastered it let them move on or they will get bored and cranky to do the same thing over and over again unnecessarily.

I also would not continue to read a book to my children that none of us is enjoying just for the sake of crossing it off our reading list. We don’t need to stress ourselves out by doing everything in the curriculum.

Today I am much more relaxed, confident, flexible and I give myself and my children more grace. I wish I had read books about Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education since the beginning.

    This was such a wonderfully clear and concise post on your homeschool routine! I really appreciated how you broke it down into what each child was doing for each subject area. I do not have that many specific curricula as we are on a very tight budget. What I do have is a basic idea of what I want my kiddo to learn. Bible study is always first and foremost and I make sure we get in reading, writing and math in some form. Then the extras: history, science, handwork, music, etc. I recently discovered praisemoves. I didn’t realize they had it for kids. I will have to check it out! I was a big yoga person, but as I have grown closer to God it hasn’t felt right for me anymore,

Ana has a beautiful heart and her laugh is contagious these are the extra perks of being apart of her blog family. What... drew me to her blog was to get homeschooling info and ideas, what has held me there is her evident passion and love for Christ. Through her blog I've grown an interest in bible journaling because of the artist side of journaling I have seen her demonstrate. Thank you for all your hard work to provide great resources for homeschooling and much more, and for the prayers!!! The praysers are an added blessing! �read more

HAPPY HANUKKAH 🕎 Hanukkah is about fighting fo HAPPY HANUKKAH 🕎 
Hanukkah is about fighting for our freedom and religious right to worship God and serve Him freely. 

Tonight, we light the menorah with prayers of hope, faith, and determination knowing that the same God that gave the Maccabbes the victory over the enemy back then, is the same today and forever - He will give us the victory if we stand up for righteousness and justice! 

We won't give up the fight. We won't give in. The enemy has no power over us unless we give him some. But we won't! We're more than conquers! We're victorious! We're the light of the world! 

It's time to rededicate ourselves and our families to God. We're God's children, bought and redeemed at a great price. 

I challenge you and your family to pray against the enemy's forces for the next 8 nights. Pray, dear friends, as your life depends on it because it does. 

Happy Hanukkah!!! He still does miracles today.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed with everything go Feeling anxious and overwhelmed with everything going on in the world right now?

The most important thing you can do right now is to turn your life to the One that knows it all. 

Your salvation and the salvation of your loved ones is more important than anything else. 

📌Have you given your life to Jesus yet? 
📌Have you invited Him to be your Lord and Saviour?

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”
- Ephesians 2:8-9. 

No matter how good you are, you cannot save yourself. Only God can save you. 

Salvation is the free gift of God and is so simple to obtain:

1- ACKNOWLEDGE you’ve sinned (we all did) and ask the Lord to forgive you. 
2- BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died on the cross to pay the penalty of your sins, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day. 
3- CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord and CALL on His name!

For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” 
- Romans 10:13

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” - John 3:16.

HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE We’re so thankful for fri HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE

We’re so thankful for friends who love handcrafts as much as we do!

We usually do handcrafts in the afternoon after finishing our studies but today, it happened after pizza night. 

I love every craft idea, poem, story, picture study, etc that comes on @a_charlotte_mason_mama ‘s Beautiful Wonders monthly plans. It adds so much beauty in our homeschool and so much fun to our family time. 

Thank you @celineybird for all the fun we and our kids have together!🙌🏼

DEVOTED: Dedicated, consecrated. I dream about rai DEVOTED: Dedicated, consecrated.
I dream about raising an army of women devoted to God, to prayer, and to His Word. 
He has put this dream in my heart years ago and many times I got distracted and took a detour of my calling. 

In these past two months, I’ve been at His feet, still, listening to His heart beating, His heart full of love for you, for your family, for this world. 

I know He is calling me to teach His Word in a deeper level to women who wants more of Him. 

I could not be more excited about this new Hebrew Bible study series I'm creating. 

It is called Devoted.

Each monthly Hebrew Scripture Study comes with 10-12 Lessons, each lesson comes with 9 gorgeous printable pages and only takes 15 minutes/day. 

You will learn Hebrew while learning the full meaning of each word in the Scripture lesson. We’re starting with Psalm 115. 

Devoted is life changing!
