We endeavor that [the child] shall have relations of pleasure and intimacy established with as many as possible of the interests proper to him; not learning a slight or incomplete smattering about this or that subject, but plunging into vital knowledge, with a great field before him which in all his life he will not be able to explore.
-Charlotte Mason
We had the pleasure this morning of attending the first of three Writers' Workshops presented by Miss Holly Roth, a seventeen year old college student attending CNM. She gave a fantastic presentation on story-writing, covering the importance of intriguing first sentences and the climactic rise and fall of good story composition.
The information was great, but what I really loved was how she taught it! She made it really fun and exciting and the kids were all really engaged. I thought they were certainly "plunging into vital knowledge." Thanks, Holly!
Also, the kids are loving the chickens.
Have a wonderful evening! -Emily
