You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 32.

Welcome to Skalais Sisters, the podcast for the classical homeschooling mama, who seeks to learn and grow while she's helping her children learn and grow.

Scalae Sisters is a casual conversation about topics that matter to those of us in the trenches

of classical homeschooling, who yearn for something more than just checking boxes and getting it

all done. I'm your host, Brandy Vensel. You can find me at Afterthoughts, that's my main blog,

and also teaching reading with Bob Books, which is where I keep my line of printable phonics

lessons. You can hear more from me on my other podcast, Aftercast. My co-host today is Misty Winkler.

Misty is a second-generation homeschooler with five kids and too many projects.

She writes about practical classical homeschooling and organizing attitudes at Simply Convivial.

This episode is sponsored by the Afterthinkers Guide to Charlotte Mason's Home Education.

That's right, I have a new Charlotte Mason study guide out for 2018.

Home education, Charlotte Mason's seminal work on educational philosophy and character development,

is a must read for every

homeschooling parent seeking to nurture her children with the rich nutrients of life and literature.

The Afterthinker's Guide to Charlotte Mason's Home Education is a study guide, and it's your

key to unlocking these nourishing educational truths in your home.

I offer to you a pair of guides for this valuable endeavor, one for group leaders, and one for group members. Don't let the different

versions fool you. These guides can be used for group or individual study. Go to afterthoughtsblog.net
