MOMS MORNING
"Moms Morning" is a monthly homeschooling encouragement and study group, led by Donna-Jean Breckenridge. "Moms Morning" meets the third Saturday of each month, from September through June (with a break in December), at Chapel on the Hill in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. For directions to the church, click here.
We do not have child care, but nursing babies are welcome. A voluntary $2.00 contribution can be given to defray the cost of refreshments and study hand-outs.
Each month, we'll discuss two topics and sections from Charlotte Mason's Volume 6 "A Philosophy of Education." It is helpful, but not required, for you to read the passage ahead of time. All of Volume 6 can be read online if you don't have a copy of the book. Go to http://www.freeyellow.com/members7/baty/page1.htm and click on Volume 6.
