I look forward to reading more about it. :-) Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195850626846368272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-85134444584464072662017-08-04T11:17:01.437-04:002017-08-04T11:17:01.437-04:00Hey, I was in Italy in 1998 too!

The main place I remember scaffolding during that trip was at the Cathedral of San Marco in Venice - I remember it was really hard to see much of anything there. But anyway...<br /><br />Great idea for a series, I'm looking forward to it! One of the ways I've thought a lot about scaffolding is in making sure subjects or practices are learned in an appropriate order. I've really noticed this in music. I first heard about sol-fa a couple years ago and it seemed like it would be a good thing to do in our homeschool. It was really challenging for the kids and we didn't really get anywhere even though we were doing it regularly for months. As I did more research, I realized my kids were missing a firm grounding in basic ear training and rhythm. I spent last year working on these foundational skills, and now we're in a much better place to be working on sol-fa and more advanced music subjects.

I think scaffolding is one of the most overlooked part of a CM eduction, yet it affects every subject we teach as well as narration, lessons building on each other, etc. And even more overlooked it affects most aspects of daily life. How to use a check list, how to start our day well, how to use free time properly, and so on. We want our children to be independent learners and thinkers and even just with management of themselves, yet often we can totally forget that does not come naturally just because they get older. I'm excited to hear how you are walking this out in your home. If nothing else, I think we can all use the encouragement to not let this area fall through the cracks.

I've often read of people afraid to teach or instruct their children because they use CM or because they want to foster independent learning.... but I also know how easy it is to become preaching. balance is tricky.<br /><br />love the illustrations of scaffolding! :)Tully Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11128339420825324229noreply@blogger.com
