Castalia Institute
Gazette for parents · Gazetteer for kids
Bring one calm ritual to the breakfast table: a fold-open Gazette with weather, rhythm, and a little puzzle play for adults — alongside a warm Gazetteer stack so each child gets worksheets, stories, and prompts with their own name on the cover. Add the Field Notebook for daily nature notes, and an optional big art sheet when someone wants room to draw large.

Fold it open like a Sunday broadsheet.
Occasion or theme of the day, weather and sky, calendar strips, rhythm — plus a gentle puzzle row when you want something shared at the table without a screen.
Each child gets their own named stack.
Story time, maps and word play, comics and puzzles on the back — designed to feel like a small weekly paper just for them. In our demo household you’ll see Finn and Aleia; your family uses your own names on the cover.
Goes in the backpack with the Gazetteer.
Weather ticks, short observations, a sound walk, and room to sketch what you find — filled in a little each day, not all at once.
When someone needs a big blank stage.
Extra room for watercolor, posters, or science fair diagrams — separate from the folded Gazette so it’s easy to pin up or trade between kids.
