Gentle and Classical Preschool: Level 1
![](https://revivalacres.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Gentle-and-Classical-Press-Revival-Acres-Review.jpg)
Hello friend! It has been a hot second.
The latter end of fall was a whirlwind in so many ways for our family. Videos and blogging needed to go on the back-burner, but now (after some kind encouragement from followers and subscribers – thank you!) I have things planned for this space in the new year!
First up – new preschool! Recently, my 3 year old has really showed more of an interest in structured ‘school’ time and I needed something that was open and go, while still fitting our philosophy. Enter in A Gentle and Classical Preschool Level 1!
There is so much I love about this curriculum which is explained more in depth in the video, but to sum it up:
1. Open and go once you prep all the materials (store by unit in page protectors in a binder) and Erin offers the Teachers Manuals for FREE!
2. Classical AND Charlotte Mason inspired. It uses memory work to springboard a living book education = LOVE.
3. It engages the whole child, making attainments doable for both the learner and a busy Mama!(Just a note – Level 1 is being rewritten to launch in June. I decided to purchase anyways and implement because I liked what I saw. It is discounted currently because of this and if you want the rewrite you will have to buy again. Follow A Gentle and Classical Press on instagram for discounts!)
Watch the video below to see how I plan on implementing it and other resources I am using. I’ve also {aff} linked all the resources we have and love as well. Just click an image to find them on Amazon.

Charlotte Mason Form I Schedule
I’ve been asked a lot about my true, Charlotte Mason morning schedule while using A Gentle Feast for my Form IB and IA students. Many people assume that to do a true Charlotte Mason Form I Schedule you must have to teach all day because of the vast amount of subjects covered. Oh contraire! That’s…

FREE Homeschool Math Curriculum for K-8th Grade!
Last year I posted a video of how my family planned to use Rays Arithmetic and we happily did for a few months. It really is a great curriculum because of cost and content. Like I say in the video, if it is working for your family, keep using it; I really believe it serves…

2nd Grade Homeschool Curriculum Basket
Charlotte Mason and Classical Education My goal this year was to simplify, organize, and provide a feast of subjects for my 2nd grader. When I discovered, somewhat by accident, the classical model of memory work, I knew this would be my backbone to our year. We decided on Claritas Publishing for our memory work because of their…
