The great thing about Charlotte Mason is that short lessons work well for posting on YouTube! ;) Seriously, though, it has worked well to do video lessons and has been a blessing to many. It's not my favorite thing in the world to see myself in a video every week, but it works to keep the kids learning!
We manage to do ALL the things we normally do over a video... We still pray, read a Bible story, look at a picture, review our verses, sing our hymn and even do nature study with whatever the kids have on hand at home for drawing or painting!
For those of you who would like to know details on the Bible lessons and pictures I've used, here are the more recent ones (the older posts have details from all the weeks prior):

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and work with us. 💕 I have used Ambleside for years and am thinking about shifting our Sunday School to a more CM approach. I love the reverence in everything you shared! Plus, reading your posts about what you have done makes it feel possible to make it happen and share the vision with others.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Helen! My hope in posting was simply to be an encouragement to others and to give ideas in case you need them. I hope you are able to cast a vision for your teachers and leaders!! Please let me know if you have questions or I can help in some way.
