Bring beauty into your home as you enjoy the richness of poetry and songs with these easy to use, artistically designed menus!

Meaningful Independence is perfect for families who want to bring multiple ages together for a sweet, easy-to-implement gathering time that focuses on America's Independence Day! Not only is this menu a fun study to use around the Fourth of July, but families utilizing Gentle + Classical Sequence 1 will find it a fun add-on as they study the American Revolution for several units.

Volumes do not need to be used in order - choose one that you think your family would enjoy and start there.

Meaningful Menus have been curated and designed to bring beauty into your family's daily gathering time (or morning basket time), with all ages in mind. The poetry, scripture memory, hymns, folk songs, and affirmations are encouraging and instructive to family members ages 2-102.

This menu includes:

Charlotte Mason's Motto Christian Affirmation (I am, I can, I ought, I will) aligned to ideas of independence.
Poem: A Nation's Strength by Ralph Waldo Emmerson
Poem #2: Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Hymn: America, the Beautiful
Folk Song: This Land is Your Land
Recitation: Portion of the Declaration of Independence

Co-Op + Classroom Licensing

Are you planning to utilize any Gentle + Classical materials with a group of other famlies (co-op) or in your classroom or school?

We are so excited to hear that and feel honored to be considered!

We do want to share the information about our co-op/classroom licensing with you. This also applies to daycares OR ANY OTHER SETTING in which non-family members are gathered to utilize G+C materials in any capacity.

What qualifies as a "daycare, classroom, or co-op"?

We define a co-op, classroom, or daycare setting as: 2 or more households coming together in a group with the intent of using Gentle + Classical materials for their lesson or gathering time.

Digital Licensing

Co-op licensing costs $7 per student/per curriculum/per year (Preschool, Primer, and/or Nature). The licensing includes access to our full digital curriculum so that the lead teacher can print and use the curriculum and supplementary materials in the classroom setting only. It doesn't include licensing to print materials for students to use at home with their families. Families who wish to use the curriculum in their own homes should purchase the curriculum for home use.

We also offer licensing for our unit studies, such as On Mission, Morning Virtues, Christmas, Autumn, and Easter. The co-op licensing for each unit study is $3 per child/per digital issue.

Interested in printed materials for your group or classroom?

We are happy to provide you with a customized quote! We provide bulk discounts for these types of orders.

How to Proceed:

To use co-op licensing, we will verify your information so we can correctly invoice you and provide the desired curriculum. Then, we'll create an invoice for you for the number of students using the curriculum. Once you've paid the invoice, we will send you access to the full digital curriculum so that your lead teacher can print and use the materials during your co-op meeting times.

For a print quote, we follow the same protocol.

Please email us at erin@lifeabundantlyblog.com for a quote for your group!
