Would we be more willing to embrace rigor in our lives and the lives of our children?โฃ โฃ *****โฃ The single most important skill a child learns is the ability to pay attention. The most determinant thing about us as people is what we pay attention to. As they used to say when education was what we now call classical: ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ. โฃ โฃ The anxious mind does not behold. It is distracted by many things. It cultivates an antic disposition. โฃ โฃ But one of teaching's greatest challenges is that you can't control the child's attention, you can only encourage him to direct it at something specific, and give him ample opportunities to practice sustained, focused, attention. โฃ โฃ I contend, therefore, that we must teach our children to behold, to enter into rest as they learn, to focus on the one thing that matters (which contains and orders all things), and to strive every day to enter more deeply into that rest - and we must do so ourselves. โฃ โฃ Then we can bring together rigor and rest in a way that proves the truth of our Lord's words when He said that if we "take My yoke upon you... you shall find rest for your souls." โฃ โฃ (Excerpt taken from the article On Rigor and Rest linked below by Andrew Kern) โฃ โฃ https://www.circeinstitute.org/blog/rigor-rest โฃ โฃ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป! ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†! โฃ โฃ FALL ENROLLMENT OPENING SOON!โฃ โฃ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ - ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ - ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† - ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝโฃ โฃ PM to learn more, or check out our website at www.stillwatersschole.comโฃ โฃ #growtogether #homeschoolcommunity #findyourtribe #learnfromoneanother #alwayslistening #bettertogether #handsonlearning #sparkingwonder #restfullearning #classical #classicaleducation #classicalhomeschool #charlottemason #classicalcharlottemason #integration #homeschoolfamily #homeschoollife #homeschoolhowto #homeschoolmentor #truthgoodnessbeauty #homesownhomegrown #stillwatersscholeโฃ
The IDITAROD ALASKAN SLED DOG RACE ended this past The IDITAROD ALASKAN SLED DOG RACE ended this past weekend. This race is something I first learned of through my mom many years ago. She began tracking this 1,000 mile trek and even developed a unit study curriculum for her Masterโ€™s program that she implemented in her classroom almost 20 years ago. (See a picture of her on a dog sled during a dog sled presentation she organized for her students below!!!) Her favorite musher to follow was ๐—๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ ๐—ž๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด. A few years back, I found a box of her curriculum in our basement and used it as a basis of some of the explorations we have now shared as a community through ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ž๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด ๐˜š๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญรฉ for the last few years. โฃ โฃ This year marked the Iditarodโ€™s 50th anniversary and surprisingly, ๐—๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ ๐—ž๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด, my momโ€™s favorite musher, replaced another musher at the last minute racing once again. To be tracking him again this year now with my own children so many years later was just so special.โฃ โฃ Instilling wonder and bridging relationships beyond time and space sure does make statistics and graphing more fun! ๐Ÿ˜„โฃ โฃ #iditarod2022 #dogsledrace #jeffking #celebratelearning #instillwonder #humblelearner #piety #gratefulmama #simplehomeschool #homeschool #homeschoolfun #homeschoollife #classicaleducation #charlottemasonhomeschoolโฃ #bettertogether #homeschoolcommunity #classical #classicaleducation #classicalhomeschool #charlottemason #charlottemasonhomeschool #homeschoolfamily #homeschoollife#truthgoodnessbeauty #thegoodthetruethebeautifulโฃ #homesownhomegrown #stillwatersschole

This has been a labor of love. From finding and reading a myriad of books, narrowing down our main topics, writing key word outlines, fusing key word outlines, writing rough drafts, re-writing rough drafts, typing a final draft and preparing an oral presentation. โฃ โฃ They start the year with belaboring over writing one paragraph, slowly adding more paragraphs and newly learned techniques, and ending the year by writing a five paragraph essay written from various sources with an attention grabbing introduction, three body paragraphs with clear topics, and an inspiring conclusion, all seasoned with various sentence openers, splattered with newly learned decorations, and peppered with lots of vocabulary words- one of their favorite challenges to add into their papers! โฃ โฃ This class EQUIPS these kids (and parents who are re-learning alongside them) and gives them such a TOOLBELT for writing that they will carry on with them all their life. I just LOVE it and I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to re-learn alongside the children in my life, and practice utilizing language well to share stories and shape souls! โฃ โฃ #celebratelearning #humblelearner #gratefulmama #simplehomeschool #homeschool #homeschoolfun #homeschoollife #classicaleducation #classical_conversations #facesofhistory #FOH #myCCday #IEWriting #Essentials #Writingisfun #charlottemasonhomeschoolโฃ #bettertogether #homeschoolcommunity #classical #classicaleducation #classicalhomeschool #charlottemason #charlottemasonhomeschool #homeschoolfamily #homeschoollife#truthgoodnessbeauty #thegoodthetruethebeautifulโฃ #homesownhomegrown #stillwatersscholeโฃ
