The CMSeries email
list/loop at Yahoogroups is designed for anyone
wishing to
learn more
about the Charlotte Mason method of education by reading her own
books and engaging in discussions of a philosophical nature. Articles
from her Parents Review magazine are also welcome for discussion. You
are welcome to read along with us by joining the email list.
List members are required to be reading along in the series, and
encouraged to participate in discussions.
We did a whirlwind
trip through the entire series (except vol
4, which was written for students) in 2003/2004, and the resulting
summaries of the entire series, which amounts to a condensed and
adapted version of the series, is now online.
In 2004/2005, we went through Volumes 1 and 6. We did three
simultaneous studies in 2005/2006 of Volumes 1, 4 and 6. During
the
2006/2007
school year, Karen began a study
of Volume 3,
and Dawn Taylor went slowly through Volume 1. We also read articles
from the Parents
Review magazine.
Although there is
a schedule posted below, we are a small enough
list to
be able to handle discussion from other chapters or CM writings. You
may post any question, comment or discussion of any part of CM's series
or Parents Review articles at any time!
However, we
discourage specific
questions about the practical application of implementing the CM
method/which spelling/math/etc program to use, because those questions
are best discussed on a more general CM list, such as the cmason list.
Below you will find a tentative schedule
for this study. I will be sending reminders on Friday for the coming
week's study. As always, this schedule is subject to change. I
encourage you all to read the Preface & Synposis when you have
time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.
