Learning Through AO Year 4 Myself

As a family, we have been learning and growing together under the influence of the ideas of Charlotte Mason for three years now. What a beautiful and tender way to flourish together! My children have soaked in so much truth and found joy in many new ideas and things over the years. And I couldn't be left behind! I've read and delighted alongside them.

However, there is at least one area that I am falling behind them. I do not narrate as regularly as the kids do and it is beginning to show! I am forgetting too quickly what I should have made more effort to retain!

In an attempt to remedy that lacking, I am embarking on a personal journey. I am beginning to study through AmblesideOnline's Year 4 for myself, complete with narrations for each reading. Yikes -- that sounds terribly ominous and intimidating. I am not saying I will complete it all in a year's time, but I will at least make a beginning of it, partake of the feast as I am able, and narrate each reading before moving on. I'm hoping writing about this here and also having a plan will keep me accountable!

 First narration to be posted post haste!
