PART 2: Curriculum Content If the philosophies of Charlotte Mason and Classical Education are new to you, if possible, please take the time to read through Part 1 in advance of beginning The Gentle + Classical Preschool, Level 2. If you read Part 1 of Gentle + Classical Nature, you will see some overlap but be aware that there is much new information as well. I challenge you to read through it at least twice as well as to prayerfully consider reading Volume 1: Home Education by Charlotte Mason for yourself. You’ll be immensely blessed. NOTE: All links, suggested books, and materials found in this program can be found “clickable” via “Level 2 Links” at www.GentleClassical.com. 1 ©Gentle + Classical Nature Part 1 ©Gentle + Classical Press 2 Welcome 3 ©Gentle + Classical Press Hi there, friend! I’m so thankful that you have found The Gentle + Classical Preschool Level 2 for your little one. Whether you’ve already walked through Level 1 with your toddler or you’re just getting started, I pray and believe that this program will be a welcome respite and will put your deepest apprehensions to rest. YOU are your child’s greatest teacher. I believe that homeschooling is a Godly calling, and He will not call you then abandon you. I know from experience that the task of home education is daunting, overwhelming, and ripe with uncertainty. But I have also enjoyed the wonderful freedom in accepting that God’s grace IS truly sufficient (even for this) and surrendering my plans and expectations at the foot of the cross. As I set out to write Level 2 of this program, I had some well-laid and perfectly logical plans. But as I began to seek God and submit this entire program to His Will, things began to change. Beginning to write this program is the hardest thing I’ve ever done professionally. God has taken me down a path that I was completely unfamiliar with and resistant to. I’ve learned so much and still remain at the feet of those wiser than I. As you read through Part 1 of this program, you’ll become familiar with some terms that I only recently became deeply acquainted with. Don’t feel overwhelmed or “behind” if they are new to you. I’m closing in on a decade of homeschooling and am still learning SO MUCH! Part 1 of this program purposes to equip and encourage you in understanding how this program is structured, why it’s structured this way, and how to best approach it and plan for it. It’s my deepest desire that your heart and mind be full, confident, and restful as you walk into your first few weeks of The Gentle + Classical Preschool Level 2. In Part 1, we will walk through the basic concepts behind the program. We will discuss Charlotte Mason’s “Formidable Attainments for a Child of 6.” We will reflect on how those can all be attained by utilizing both this program and Gentle + Classical Nature. (Don’t worry, I have plenty of scheduling help ahead). We will purpose to understand why anyone would want to read “creepy” fairy tales to their young children and how those develop the moral imagination. We will explore the absence of history in this program, which is wholly uncommon in current classical circles. We will explore all the books you will need and how best to order your days around your purposes for your child in this tender stage. In Part 2, you will find all the material included in the program for implementation. I believe that you will find the memory work and teacher notes clear, concise, and easily implementable once you’ve done the work of investing time in fully understanding Part 1. If, after you’ve read Part 1, you have more questions about who I am as a curriculum author and ©Gentle + Classical Press 4 what my personal homeschool journey has been like, I would encourage you to read the Welcome Letter from the free pdf download of Gentle + Classical Nature. In that program, I fully flesh out what my own personal journey has been in finding my way into the “Charlotte Mason/Classical” world and the worldview that I approach writing this program from. I didn’t wish to repeat it here for those who have read through that program already. If it is not readily apparent thus far, I’m a follower of Christ. My belief that our culture is rapidly swinging away from traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs is a significant motivating factor for the basis of this program. This is why we read fairy tales (more on that in the section Moral Imagination). I’m a publicly schooled student with a BS in Banking and Finance. On all accounts, I am not equipped to write a liberal arts curriculum. However, I persevere as I know that ALL wisdom comes from God and trust Him fully to cover my every insufficiency. After having recently attended a large homeschool convention, I can attest that most curriculum programs do not seek to encourage and equip the parent so much as they seek to help the parent “get the job done.” We all have MUCH to do and many responsibilities in our homes, communities, and churches. That is most definitely not lost on me! But one thing I know for sure is that there is no one curriculum program or author that we can FULLY trust to impart a proper and complete Biblical worldview to our children. As Spirit-led as many programs are, as parents, it is still OUR calling to teach our children to order their affections for that which is lovely and good. We cannot fully unload that burden upon a book and expect it to “work.” I personally made that mistake for years, and it made me all the more thankful for grace! But I want to come alongside you and encourage you not to make the same mistakes that I did. I am not God and therefore, I am fallible and sinful. My worldview is not perfectly Biblical or without error as I continue to grow in Christ and confront new sins daily. I want you to recognize that up front. My hope in bringing this to your awareness would be that it would serve as an encouragement to make sure you never stop learning. Learn about education and how the mind develops. Learn about how stories and movies shape our worldview. Learn how to properly read and dissect literature. Read as much as you can- for knowledge and for beauty. Not only does this help us all continue to develop into whole people ourselves, but it shapes us as a community and gives our children excellent models. It need not be more than 20 minutes per day, but I task you with expanding and redeeming your own education so that YOU are ultimately the best teacher you can be. And always, above all, seek God’s Word first. If I could summarize the purpose of the Gentle + Classical programs together, it would be this: “As Gentle + Classical Nature acquaints our children with God’s Creation and instills WONDER for their Creator into their souls, through The Gentle + Classical Preschool, literature and fairy tales will enliven their minds and exercise their moral imagination. Virtue, reverence, and character are shaped 5 ©Gentle + Classical Press through stories that thrill, perplex, and delight. Their poetic knowledge is developed as their souls observe good triumphing over evil, as it does in life through our victory in Christ.” Enjoy this journey, friend! For years, I was frustrated with the saying, “The days are long, but the years are short.” As my own high schooler prepares for her sophomore year, getting her driving permit, and starting her first job, I can testify to its accuracy.

Called Remix, the conference set out to explore faith, community and mission in postmodern culture. “We have come together to listen to each other, to interact with each other and be open to learn more effective ways of doing and being church in our secular, postmodern environment,” said Carols light Pastor Garth Bainbridge, who, along with Pastor Peter Fowler, hosted Remix at FVCC. “As a church we need to be open to the future, flexible, not just stuck in the past.” According to Nathan Brown, RECORD editor and initiator of the event, Remix was not about solving all the problems and finding all the answers over a few days. “Remix was about starting up an ongoing discussion,” he says. In clarifying the term postmodern, he adds, “Post does not mean ‘anti.’ It just means it is coming after. It is not about throwing out all the old stuff.

  • Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry
    ROLL OF THUNDER HEAR MY CRY MILDRED D. TAYLOR NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER Author's Note My father was a master storyteller. He could tell a fine old story that made me hold my sides with rolling laughter and sent happy tears down my cheeks, or a story of stark reality that made me shiver and be grateful for my own warm, secure surroundings. He could tell stories of beauty and grace, stories of gentle dreams, and paint them as vividly as any picture with splashes of character and dialogue. His memory detailed every event of ten or forty years or more before, just as if it had happened yesterday. By the fireside in our northern home or in the South where I was born, I learned a history not then written in books but one passed from generation to generation on the steps of moonlit porches and beside dying fires in one-room houses, a history of great-grandparents and of slavery and of the days following slavery: of those who lived still not free, yet who would not let their spirits be enslaved. From my father the storyteller I learned to respect the past, to respect my own heritage and myself. From my father the man I learned even more, for he was endowed with a special grace that made him tower above other men. He was warm and steadfast, a man whose principles would not bend, and he had within him a rare strength that sustained not only my sister and me and all the family but all those who sought his advice and leaned upon his wisdom.
