SS #81: Don’t Forget to Remember (Memory Work with Maria Bell!!)

Our guest today is Maria Bell. Maria educates her children at home in the Charlotte Mason tradition and enjoys studying and sharing with others the biblical roots of Miss Mason’s philosophy. She is a linguist by training and profession, but her heart is for the ministry of motherhood and the pursuit of Truth. She resides in the Washington D.C. metro area with her husband and three children.

Today’s discussion about memory work and recitation is just delightful. Maria Bell sees these things not as building piles of knowledge, but as nourishing the soul in a way that promotes spiritual growth. Her words are a soothing balm to the soul  

Preparing for a new school year in January?

If you need to teach logic this year, consider using the Scholé Sisters Liberty of Logic course. This is a very unique approach. Teacher Steven Rummelsburg will help you go deep into logic as a liberal art and then assist you in teaching your children the art using the class textbook. We cannot recommend this course enough!

Cultivating thinking moms

We believe in the revitalization of dialectic, the ordering of the affections, and in-person community. We believe reading widely, thinking deeply, and applying faithfully is the kind of self-education every woman needs. Society will be recivilized by educated, confident, fruitful Christian women.
