The Princess Principle Theme is the outward Grace of Generosity through Service and Philanthropy.

Generosity is a hallmark of princesses' graciousness. The foundation of generosity is magnanimity, or having a great soul. Magnanimity is the province of the heart. Yet, having a great soul or being magnanimous is not enough. Good intentions not acted upon, help no one.

Often times when we think of "Service" we think of big grand projects that take a lot of time, money, and/or effort. Some think of crocheting bandages for leper colonies and mobile hospitals around the world, or putting together school kits for children in poor countries. Others think of donating money to organizations like the Red Cross, Mother's Without Borders, or The Rising Star Outreach.

Discussion is a great opportunity to gain insights into classics, and understanding of individuals; as well as an enriching activity for your Princess Academy group as you strive to find and apply the principles in the classics you are studying. With large groups you may want to divide into smaller groups of about two to four mother and daughter pairs (4-8 people) for discussions.

When reading classics if you come across a word that you or your daughter don't know, look it up. This will help to build your vocabulary and understand the story better. Some times a word has multiple meanings, so it may be helpful to look at the context that it is used in to determine the definition.
