It sounds like such a great program/method. Definitely keep CGS in the back of your mind, it's great to learn, even if you don't plan on teaching.

Even in the midst of less on our calendar, I still struggle with wanting to be a "doer" and overdoing things! <br />I bet you would love CGS-cgsusa.org has lots of information about the method, and it probably lists formation programs, too.

We are just doing half-days of school for summer class and that's been a very good balance for me, I think, of having a schedule...but also having time for Cyrus to nap and for us to get some family time in the afternoon. We're loving the pace of summer!

I was traveling the last three weekends (included several weekdays too), and even though it was all for wonderful reasons/people, I found myself SO READY for a few low key weekends. Hope you've been enjoying that too! Also, I love hearing about CGS.

They are so needed. Sometimes we forget that we are human beings and not human doings!

The whole Montessori approach to teaching kids about the faith can be really beneficial, I think. The level of respect for the child (and his/her need for silence, prayer) is really beautiful-and it's neat to see the ways in which kids can work with the various materials that help them dive deeper AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-57431336483956612572019-07-08T13:22:56.706-05:002019-07-08T13:22:56.706-05:00It's so amazing how our little kids are growin...It's so amazing how our little kids are growing up!!!

I'll have to check our library for it.
