I feel that my children are learning so much more from narrating and discussing the topics we are studying than I ever learned from textbooks, workbooks, lectures and tests.<br /><br />Great job!<br />PenneyPenney Douglashttp://www.penneydouglas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528919161012393527.post-73514462951272260722011-07-20T03:12:50.604+10:002011-07-20T03:12:50.604+10:00Well done!

I remember always liking the essay questions on my school tests best, as they would allow me to produce just as much information as I could.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285185619015613888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528919161012393527.post-23651415102145407762011-07-15T19:45:58.028+10:002011-07-15T19:45:58.028+10:00Thanks ladies!

I was always dreadful with exams, it wasn't that I didn't know the information, I just had a poor memory when it came to exam situations.

Mommy of two blessings, ...Thanks my bloggy friends:<br />Mommy of two blessings, Ambleside Online is based on the philosophy of Charlotte Mason. She used narration, short lessons, etc as her method which is very different to how school is traditionally done. Yes one needs to add in maths, foreign language, phonics etc where you can pick your own resources. AO has many free online resources for other subjects though like art, composer, etc. I think the FAQ section on the website will answer a lot of your questions:)Joyfulmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888086629467112175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528919161012393527.post-10368645516570086492011-07-09T08:45:58.958+10:002011-07-09T08:45:58.958+10:00Isn't it so refreshing to have children love e...Isn't it so refreshing to have children love exams?!

It sounds more like review. I have looked into Ambleside a few things though...what do you do for math and the other "subjects"? I know there are a lot of free ideas for Science, Art, Math, Music, and "foren" language online but what do you do other than the reading? Am I missing something? I was told about Ambleside some time back but I think I am missing something with it. Thanks for sharing as I am new to reading your blog. *smile* Sincerely, Mommy of two little blessings & so much more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528919161012393527.post-6274605064413507542011-07-07T17:42:11.936+10:002011-07-07T17:42:11.936+10:00Hooray!
