Patio Chats & Mother Gatherings:

| PNEU Articles and handicraft at leisure. This year, we will be diving in to a few short CM education articles written by various persons associated with Mason’s Parents’ National Educational Union (PNEU). Our hope is that these articles will be accessible to all moms at SC, whether beginner, mid-career, or veteran. We want these articles to touch on a variety of topics relevant to us as Charlotte Mason educators as they were to those moms who were close to the PNEU and Mason herself. You will see (and hopefully sigh a sigh of relief) that our challenges and ideals have not changed much in 100 years, but they way we go about them together is what keeps us going. These articles are meant to be self-contained so that they can be read and chewed on well ahead of time or on the day of our meetings, for those moms who have trouble squeezing in another thing. We just want you to join the conversation and be in fellowship with us! We will also try our hand at working on a community handicraft together—we will see together pre-cut fabric in various colors in the form of bunting so that we can finish at the end of the school year and present a hand-made banner to our community for celebrations, etc. We hope you’ll join us! **IMPORTANT: Please note that, while the Board tries very hard to keep all scheduled Mother Culture activities as written, sometimes updates or changes need to be made to accommodate schedule conflicts or allow greater participation. Any changes will be communicated via email and/or Band. PATIO CHAT THURSDAY SCHEDULE: Session 1 with Tawnya Kikawa: 10:10 am Session 2 with Cristina Yamasaki: 12:35 pm | |
