1. We are reading both Volume 3 and Volume 6 of The Original Homeschooling Series by Charlotte M. Mason this year.  You can choose to read one or both.  We will be reading Volume 6 every year, so if you don't get to it this year, you can always join in next year.  There are monthly reading assignments for each volume starting with Volume 3.  In July we will move on to Volume 6.  Record your favorite ideas/quotes and also jot down plans for implementation in your notebook.  You may find the questions in the back of volume 3 (Appendix 1) helpful as you embark on your discovery.

2.  Read the monthly assignment from either What Latter-day Stripling Warriors Learn From Their Mothers or Educating the WholeHearted Child.  We will be reading What Latter-day Stripling Warriors Learn From Their Mothers in January or February and Educating the WholeHearted Child from March to December.  Add any notes, thoughts and impressions from your readings to your notebook.

3.  In the months of January - June we will be reading the autobiography of Helen Keller - The Story of My Life.  Helen was an amazing woman and we can learn much about learning from her example.

3. Read the selected education articles for enrichment/discussion  There are about 12
articles spaced out over the year.  See the monthly assignment schedule.  Links may change so for the Parent's Review articles you can go to this page directly to find them: http://www.amblesideonline.org/PR.shtml 
and for The Religious Educator you can go here:
http://tre.byu.edu/

4. Keep a notebook.  You can develop this notebook however you wish, make it work for you.  You might like to have sections for your different children and write down ideas from your studies that will be beneficial to each child.
