CM in Canada

This page will grow over time as I find new resources and blogs that will be helpful and encouraging to Charlotte Mason homeschoolers in Canada.

Resources

Please note that these resources are not specifically aimed at CM homeschoolers and so may not be CM-friendly in all respects. I am just sharing resources I think will be of interest to you. 

Canadian History

The Canadian Homeschooler: Canadian History Through Living Books
This is Nicola's 2006 list, with a few additions and updates from The Canadian Homeschooler. Everything I have found so far from this list has been excellent. I highly recommend that you start here when looking for Canadian living books. Many of these books are out of print now, and I recommend searching for them at BookFinder.com to find the best prices including shipping to your address.

O Canada History: Our Home and Native Land

This blog is a book and resource list by a Canadian homeschooler. It's worth checking out when you're looking for books on a specific period in Canada's history.

M.E. Bond: Where Secrets of the Past Meet Stories of the Present

I like this blog for serendipitous discoveries in Canadian history and history in general. I've found children's picture books to check out at the library, interesting websites, and lots of information I didn't even know I wanted to know. Check out her list of Canadian Historical Picture Books!

Also check out the Simply Charlotte Mason bookfinder and the Ambleside Online Canada page. The forums at both of these sites can also be helpful. The "Files" section of the Charlotte Mason Canada FaceBook page has a Canadian history list as well. (And don't forget to share your favourite living books and reviews wherever you can. We need each other!)
