Will definitely be trying this out, though with only a year 2 and a 5 year old (and soon a baby added to the mix) it probably will just be "Keeping Time." :)Kim M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03585796207562837738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-27623004110740912402018-02-21T07:26:27.225-05:002018-02-21T07:26:27.225-05:00Hi Megan, Keeping or Notebooking in a CM context i...Hi Megan, Keeping or Notebooking in a CM context is the assimilation of ideas by the student in a beautiful way. It isn't "homework" per se, but an opportunity for our children and ourselves to pour out what has been poured in. Keeping helps us behold and see, as Mariah says, but it does so by helping us make connections and relationships with and between ideas. The Keeping Hour takes it one step further (Lord willing) and helps us make those connections together in familial fellowship. To learn more about what and how to keep, <a href="http://wildflowersandmarbles.com/2014/01/31/notebooks-acquiring-habits-with-intellectual-effort/" rel="nofollow">Jen Mackintosh's blog post</a> is a wonderful primer - if The Living Page is out of reach.dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987916970944867015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-86687454945362756772018-02-20T09:08:37.185-05:002018-02-20T09:08:37.185-05:00Here is an article from the The Parent's Revie...Here is an article from the <a href="https://www.amblesideonline.org/PR/PR34p720BookofCenturies.shtml" rel="nofollow">The Parent's Review</a>. Here is a link to <a href="https://www.bookofcenturies.com/faq.html" rel="nofollow">Laurie Bestvater's FAQ page</a>. She wrote The Living Page and has some explanation and links to further explanation. I like the Riverbend Press <a href="http://www.riverbendpress.com/shop-notebooks/book-of-centuries" rel="nofollow">Book of Centuries</a> It's heirloom quality and absolutely lovely. <br /><br />The best resource for Keeping is Bestvater's book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Living-Page-Keeping-Notebooks-Charlotte/dp/0615834108/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519135690&sr=8-1&keywords=the+living+page" rel="nofollow">The Living Page</a>. dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987916970944867015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-67807192219104978122018-02-19T22:48:46.647-05:002018-02-19T22:48:46.647-05:00I'm sorry if I missed something in my reading ...I'm sorry if I missed something in my reading of this, but I'm still not exactly sure what "keeping" is? I feel like it was alluded to in the post, but not ever exactly spelled out, with mentions of book of centuries and other things, but to me, it sounds like kids are just working on their homework at the table together with Mom doing her own homework. Is this all it really is? As someone who is just coming around to CM methods, I'm not entirely familiar with this concept of "keeping". Is there another post or article somewhere that could explain this in a little more specific way? This article makes it sound wonderful, but in too vague of a way for me, who needs things spelled out a little more... ;-)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345786032240890122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-57771600583721646942018-02-18T23:02:50.085-05:002018-02-18T23:02:50.085-05:00I'm so fascinated by this idea!

I love this idea of us all keeping something together!!!I've been studying Charlotte Mason for almost 3 years now and I still don't know what a Book of Centuries is?! Where can I best read about this idea of keeping a Book of Centuries?

If you read the notes she tells how to get it free. I gave it to my kids and it has helped.

I think the atmosphere and discipline you describe would be a big help, but thought you might have other thoughts.
