Sonya, you are a breath of fresh air! Other CM teachers say you have to do exactly like Charlotte! But CM wasn't a momma with toddlers and babies in the mix. Your reminder to make it work for your own family is so helpful!
This is a great question, Goldie. Here is a post that may help you in this area: simplycharlottemason.com/blog/teaching-geography-subject-by-subject-part-4/ as well as we use our "Visits To" geography resources to teach these lessons to our children and these are designed for grades 1-12: simplycharlottemason.com/store/visits-to-geography-series/
Yes me too. I have to rotate the variety by season or blocks otherwise I feel like I'm juggling more than I or my kids can handle. I also don't know how to keep my lessons short especially when it's a hands on activity or with my son who takes a while to get and stay focused due to what I believe is ADHD... And trying to balance 3 kids.
@@zmommy4044 That sounds like a good strategy. I’m just trying to add in one thing at a time and loop things in. My little one gets so into readings we go long in that area. I cannot live by a timer 🙂
@@Dreblueskies yes that is one we go long with too but if they're enjoying it and we are bonding then I guess that is good, right? Thanks for sharing what you do
Thank you for sharing this insight and you certainly are not alone. I also want to know a way ahead when presented with an idea that is a bit more unfamiliar to me or overwhelming.

I really appreciate this Sonya. Quick question,. What is considered a geography lesson before 7-year-old?

The sheer number of subjects makes me feel so stressed out.
