| Unleashing the Love of Learning "Charlotte Mason Style" through Faith-based Science Education with Luke and Trisha Wilkerson | 23 Jun 2023 | 00:44:41 | |
Are you looking for a faith-based approach to teaching science at home that aligns with the principles of the Charlotte Mason lifestyle? Have you been curious about how to effectively teach science with a faith-based approach in the comfort of your own home, while embracing the principles of the Charlotte Mason lifestyle? Charlotte Mason believed in providing a rich and varied education that encompasses all aspects of a child's development, including spiritual growth. Today we speak to Luke and Trisha Gilkerson, the founders of Journey Homeschool Academy. The online academy offers parents the tools and resources to provide a holistic education that integrates science with Christian values. Not only that, it has blessed our neurodivergent, special needs, and outside the box learners in our home. In the Charlotte Mason approach, science is not just a subject to be studied, but a means to discover and appreciate the wonders of God's creation! Luke and Trisha's emphasis on instilling Christian values through science education perfectly aligns with Charlotte Mason's belief in nurturing a child's spiritual connection with the world around them. Charlotte Mason advocated for the importance of community and collaboration in education. Luke and Trisha's encouragement to join homeschool communities resonates with the idea of parents coming together to support and inspire one another in their homeschooling journeys. Luke and Trisha online courses support Charlotte Mason's principles of giving children living ideas and allowing them to explore and learn at their own pace. By tailoring the curriculum to fit the family's needs and incorporating interactive and hands-on activities, parents can create a learning environment that fosters a love for science and a deeper understanding of God's creation. I believe you will LOVE hearing from the Gilkersons! XOXO, Katie CHECK OUT JOURNEY HOMESCHOOL:

Are you eager to create a nurturing home environment where your children learn to respect boundaries, empathize with others, and build healthy relationships? I want to dive into a topic that's close to my heart and I believe will resonate with you deeply – teaching our precious little ones about boundaries. As homeschooling moms, we have this incredible privilege of not just nurturing our children academically, but also guiding them on their journey of personal and emotional growth. And one vital aspect of that journey is helping them understand the concept of boundaries. Today let’s explore the gentle art of setting boundaries within our homes. We'll draw inspiration from our Creator, who, in His divine wisdom, established boundaries within His creation for our well-being and protection. I’ll give you an example of ways to infuse these lessons into our everyday lives, using the events of the day and our children's interactions as teachable moments. We'll learn how boundaries foster respect, empathy, and healthy relationships, laying a foundation for their future well-being. So, my dear friend, grab a cozy blanket, pour yourself a soothing cup of tea, and join me on this intimate journey of imparting wisdom and love to our children. It's in these tender moments that we shape not just their understanding of boundaries, but also their hearts and character. I'm truly grateful to have you by my side on this path of motherhood.
