#BRAVE WRITER VS THE GOOD AND THE BEAUTIFUL FULL#
A worldly approach full of logic, equality, and empathy. Torchlight supports the Golden Rule, kindness, exploration, questioning, and scientific thinking. Torchlight takes a distinctively secular approach with Humanist underpinnings.
We include hands-on learning, game-schooling, car-schooling, media, and bedtime story recommendations into our curriculum to spread out the learning and make it more of a lifestyle. She loves to tell me how she is, “busy writing.” I’ve even found her lovely notes tucked into our mailbox waiting for delivery via the post! We have surely become a family of Brave Writers.Torchlight is quite an eclectic curriculum. I am constantly finding her writing little squiggly letters and notes for everyone in the family. She has taken to mimicking her brother’s writing. I’ve also seen a trickle-down effect with our 3-year-old. Long gone are the days of single response answers like “Bacon.” Now he wants to write a book about dragon’s, write down his thoughts on science and write down his opinions on the current books we are reading. Over the past year, I have seen a change in our son’s confidence and excitement to write. Brave Writerpromotes heaps of Read Alouds, Poetry Tea Time, Nature Journaling, Art Appreciation, Copy Work, Dictation, Grammar, Spelling, Movies, and Conversations.Brave Writer gives you suggestions for your rhythm but it is ultimately up to you to decide what works and when. If you are looking for a curriculum to tell you that you must do this and this each day, then Brave Writer isn’t for you. Brave Writer is flexible! You choose what rhythm works best for your family.It meets your child where they are at, yet it also focuses on three important areas… Language Arts, Oral Language, and Writing Projects.There is so much to love about the Brave Writers Lifestyle! We have even started writing a book together! It’s all about his favorite subject, dragons! Since moving to the farm, our son has also taken to writing pen pal letters to his friends in far away states.Įven still, I will scribe for him if he has loads of information that he wants to get out of his head and onto paper. Other times we find that nature journaling and scientific facts give him the confidence he needs to write what he knows. Sometimes a quill and ink with a bit of parchment are all that’s needed for him to feel comfortable enough to write his thoughts. Becoming A Family Of Brave Writersīy focusing on our son’s strengths he is now writing more than a single word in response to writing prompts. What reactions will bring the best out of me? Negativity or Positivity? A Gentle Word or a Harsh Word? Patience or Impatience? Instead of focusing on the one word our son wrote, Bacon, with negativity what if I approached it with Encouragement? Such as, “Wow, that may be the best capital letter B you’ve written yet! Well, Done!” These are the lessons I am learning from Julie Bogart and Brave Writer.
Now, if we mom’s do best with daily encouragement, wouldn’t our children be the same way? Do you think it matters, to them, not only what we say but also how we say it? Brave Writer has challenged me to take a step back and place myself in my children’s shoes. Don’t miss this shared experience of intimacy and creativity.” Julie Bogart – A Gracious Space: Fall Your Partnership offers assurance, encouragement, and practical help. “Your eyes, your brain, and your mentoring are crucial to your children’s growth as writers. I always walk away feeling empowered and ready to give our children all of the love and understanding they need. Most every morning I start my day with her encouraging words.
I am so glad I did! Julie homeschooled her 5 children for 17 years! She’s been there.
I stumbled upon A Gracious Space while stalking Julie Bogart on Facebookand You Tube. It helps to be encouraged, especially from those that have more experience than us and have come out on the other side of homeschooling with adult kids that are thriving. I’ve found that I do best as a homeschool mom when I can get daily encouragement. I know that as mother’s and as homeschoolers we have a tendency to feel like we aren’t doing enough.
