I'm so glad you're sharing some photos and thoughts with us from your trip. <br /><br />And thank you for that nudge about sharing CM with new mothers or young women. There's a new mother I know who I've been thinking about sharing For the Children's Sake with... but have felt a little shy about doing so. But I am going to do it anyway, because you are right, planting those seeds is important.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-46010811865733931872014-05-10T05:15:06.675-07:002014-05-10T05:15:06.675-07:00Thank you for sharing this, Jen!

We have a lovely single lady friend who serves as a homeschooling support teacher for homeschooling families in our mission here in Africa. She came here straight out of a university teaching degree program, but without any professional classroom teaching experience yet. Anyhow, she stayed with our family for a month last fall when she was ill, and saw how we homeschooled in the CM way which led to some interesting conversations. I eventually loaned her my For the Children's Sake, which she read. This spring, as she as travelled around to several different homeschooling families (mostly following the school-at-home paradigm), she has been talking with all of these mothers about these ideas and passing my book around to them. :) In our recent group-learning session for homeschoolers, she taught all of her history and science lessons through stories since she's been bit by the bug that we learn better through stories and ideas rather than lists of facts, and having them write things in response such as "tell three things you found interesting about Galileo" rather than having them fill out worksheets. She has even told me that when her 2 year commitment serving here is up and she returns to the US, she may seek to find employment in a CM-style school rather than in the PS system. All that to say...that yes, those little seeds of paradigm shift DO take root and will sprout. I've been seeing it with my own eyes these past 6 months.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17576009644971020668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-30713667967828371392014-05-09T21:31:57.824-07:002014-05-09T21:31:57.824-07:00Nancy, Nancy, Nancy...I am so thankful that you co...Nancy, Nancy, Nancy...I am so thankful that you could be in.the.moment.
