What is the Christian Classical Method of education and how can you teach it in your home? Yvette Hampton is joined by Amy Sloan, 2nd-generation classical homeschooler, podcaster, and blogger to get to the heart of classical homeschooling.
 
Amy Sloan and her husband John are 2nd-generation homeschoolers to 5 children from 6 to 16 years old. The Sloan family adventures together in NC where they pursue a restfully-classical education. If you hang out with Amy for any length of time you’ll quickly learn that she loves overflowing book stacks, giant mugs of coffee, beautiful memory work, and silly memes. At any moment she could break into song and dance from Hamilton, 90s country music, or Shakespeare. Amy writes at HumilityandDoxology.com and hosts the biweekly “Homeschool Conversations” podcast.

“Teach the child, not the curriculum” ~ Sonya Shafer   
Sonya Shafer joins Yvette Hampton for an in-depth look at the Charlotte Mason method for homeschoolers. 
Sonya Shafer is a popular homeschool speaker and writer, specializing in the Charlotte Mason Method. She has been on an adventure for more than 20 years studying, researching, practicing, and teaching Charlotte’s gentle and effective methods of education. Her passion for homeschooling her own four daughters grew into helping others and then into Simply Charlotte Mason, which publishes her many books and provides a place of practical encouragement to homeschoolers.

In this interview, Sonya Shafer talks about who Charlotte Mason was, how she discovered the Charlotte Mason approach, and why she decided to use CM in her home school.
Charlotte Mason Distinctives
What makes her approach different from other approaches? GREAT BOOKS and a focus on educating the whole person  in a Christian/Biblical worldview.
What are living books? Sonya shares excerpts from a textbook and a "living book" and discusses the difference 
What is "narration" and why do you use it in teaching? How does narration differ for children as they get older? Are there multiple methods of narration? 
GUIDED DISCOVERY
Sonya demonstrates a picture study and has Yvette do a narration exercise to illustrate this method of guided discovery. 
GOOD HABITS
Charlotte Mason believed that education was shaping the whole person, not just dumping facts into the child’s brain. Sonya explains “shaping the whole person"  and discusses how the Charlotte Mason approach focuses on that.
What would a typical day look like? Sonya Shafer walks us through a typical Charlotte Mason homeschool day and explains how all subjects are tackled, even with multiple children of different ages.
Sonya Shaffer gives a list of her favorite books on the Charlotte Mason approach and some of her favorite literature books.
