Homeschool mom, can you imagine a time when no one knew anything about homeschooling? Where, if you thought about educating your child at home you were considered pretty weird? Today we're sharing a conversation with one of the trailblazers of the homeschooling movement in our county in Florida and the challenges she faced. You'll learn why she started homeschooling in the first place and how she and a group of vanguard homeschool friends started the first homeschool co-op.

Hey, homeschool mom! Today's podcast is an inaugural format intended to replicate something valuable from our homeschool journey, Parent Panels. We were greatly blessed by these which we attended together through our local homeschool support group. We had monthly meetings. Then a few times of year, the support group brought together a handful of homeschool moms to share the challenges of their journey and answer our questions. We hope this format empowers you like the Parent Panels did for us with homeschool help, how-to's, homeschool news and we even added a few fun things for your kids to enjoy. Blessings!

Episode #44. This is episode 2 or a 3 part series from a recent workshop for our community members for details on how to ditch boredom in Language Arts homeschool plans. We see a pattern with the kids that we have taught in the past, with our own children, and with the kids we presently teach, which is: Interest-led educational experiences drive creativity, bolster motivation, and instill an intrinsic love of learning -- especially in Language Arts, as it is the foundation of the learning process. A few years into our homeschool journey, we heard this declaration from a veteran homeschool mom: You are the master of the curriculum, it is NOT the master of you! This is a declaration that we wish we would have heard earlier. It gave us peace of mind to switch it up when things weren’t going well, to embrace our freedom in curriculum choices.

This is a declaration that we wish we would have heard earlier. It gave us peace of mind to switch it up when things weren’t going well, to embrace our freedom in curriculum choices. We understand that even when an educational approach, method, or curriculum has become boring, burdensome, and/or bothersome, it’s easy to listen to fear and stay in that space because it feels safe. We have been victim to the idea that we needed to plow through in order to not “miss any targets or create gaps,” because “don’t the curriculum developers know better than we do?” We are here to encourage you that if it’s not working, it’s ok to break out and make connections between your child’s passions and the topics they study. This is a great way to learn, and fun to teach, and we’ve got specific ideas to help you accomplish that. >Have a question you need answered?

We see a pattern with the kids that we have taught in the past, with our own children, and with the kids we presently teach, which is: Interest-led educational experiences drive creativity, increase motivation, and instill an intrinsic love of learning -- especially in Language Arts, as it is the foundation of the learning process. A few years into our homeschool journey, we heard this declaration from a veteran homeschool mom: You are the master of the curriculum, it is NOT the master of you! This is a declaration that we wish we would have heard earlier. It gave us peace of mind to switch it up when things weren’t going well, to embrace our freedom in curriculum choices. Listen for more details on how to master your homeschool curriculum! ---------- >Have a question you need answered?

Hey Homeschool mom! We know you're probably like us at this time of the year wondering how you're going to get all the Christmas things done before the big day! And we've got the perfect, light-hearted soundtrack to listen to while you're checking off your list with today's episode. In the first of what we hope to be many interviews to come with our formerly homeschooled kids, you'll find out why Hymns, and music study in general, are a smart addition to your homeschool lesson plans. We think hearing it from the student’s voice after they’ve gone off and used their homeschooled knowledge gives a powerful perspective. Kim and her daughter have an amusing and informative conversation about Hymn study. How does the topic of Hymns become amusing? Well, that's just how it goes when these two discuss things especially when they're reflecting on their amazing homeschool journey!

Hi Homeschool Mom, Are you finding it difficult to be thankful in your current circumstances? Homeschooling is never easy, but as our world has gotten increasingly more uncertain, depressing, unstable, and expensive (!!) over the past few years, the days can be difficult, and you can find yourself in a pit of despair on a daily basis if you don't have a solution to combat it. We have found ourselves in this pit many days, especially when we were not connecting with God regularly and other Godly-minded women to speak life into us and get us out of our heads. So how do we keep a heart of gratitude in all circumstances, including our homeschool days? Listen in to be encouraged...and BTW, you may never look at 💩 the same way again! ;) Blessings, Kim & Jenny Links mentioned in the show: https://www.thehomeschoolwell.com/blog Next Steps for Easier & Enjoyable Homeschool Days: Get 1:1 Support: https://thehomeschoolwell.com/coaching Join The Homeschool Well Community: https://thehomeschoolwell.com/community Grab Your Freebies: https://thehomeschoolwell.com/store Join the FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragementforchristianmoms

Have your kids ever told you they want to go to "real school" and you lack homeschool recordkeeping to show them that they do, in fact go to the BEST school? Have you had rich educational experiences either out and about or at home and no homeschool record keeper of the learning that took place? Have you asked yourself what you taught or what they learned and wondered how to become organized to easily store and find that information? Beyond meeting legal requirements in some states, keeping a homeschool portfolio will lead to better organization and can be used to cast vision and track goals. Listen in to this recording of our latest workshop where we taught homeschool moms how record keeping and homeschool portfolios are well worth the effort. We give ways to make it become a seamless part of you daily homeschool journey. 🔗Links from the episode: www.thehomeschoolwell.com/community Next Steps for Easier and Enjoyable Homeschool Days: ✨Grab Your Homeschool Freebies --> Start Homeschooling Checklist: www.thehomeschoolwell.com/checklist 30 Practical Tips to Make Your Homeschool Day Easier and Enjoyable! www.thehomeschoolwell.com/tips Find Out Your Homeschool Style Quiz: https://www.thehomeschoolwell.com/style 🤝Homeschool Help: Join The Homeschool Well Community for Support: www.thehomeschoolwell.com/community Get Personalized 1:1 Homeschool Support: www.thehomeschoolwell.com/coaching 🙏Thanks for listening!

What is the best budget-friendly way to keep your homeschooling library fresh, interesting and up-to-date? Your local library could have what you’re looking for FREE of charge. Are you on a budget but still want rich educational resources? Learn tips here on how to keep a free homeschool library in your home that matches your lesson plans. We utilized our local library resources consistently throughout our homeschool journey. Beyond saving us money, the library became not only our main system of acquiring homeschool curriculum materials, but a way in which we came to value and partner with the staff of our local library. My kids and I developed a love for the library in a way that was definitely due to the fact that we spent so much time there. We can confidently say that using the library is the best budget-friendly way to homeschool!

Foraging Adventures was created for homeschooling families seeking interactive, vibrant educational experiences. This podcast episode sheds light on the wonders of foraging and its significance in teaching about how God made plants right in our own yards that can nourish us. We believe this fascinating endeavor will make homeschool lesson plans come alive. Our guest, Ryan Saul from ⁠Venture Outside Florida⁠ has been leading foraging tours and fishing charters for several years. He shares, alongside his daughter who helps on the adventures, his valuable insight on responsible and safe foraging practices, emphasizing the fact that with thorough research and education there's no need to fear embarking on this exciting way of eating. He tells the story of how he got started foraging as a challenge among friends and the surprising health benefits revealed to him along the way. Just like homeschooling helps us think outside the box, foraging is one way to do that and has the potential to greatly enhance homeschool unit studies or separate Science, Nature Study and/or Journaling lessons. We hope to inspire you and your family to gain a deeper understanding of God's bounty in the natural world around you.

In this episode, we talk with Pam from The Apparent Project School, a ministry in Haiti. You and your kids will benefit greatly from hearing what she says about the school, the students' lives away from school and the surprising difference between teachers at the ministry compared to those in other schools around the country. This is a heartfelt conversation will spark ideas for how you can help your kids make connections w/ others who have needs that we simply cannot wrap our minds around. Pam, coordinator for the Early Childhood Program, explains the heartbreaking housing situation that most of their students face when the school day is done. The Apparent Project is a safe haven for these families and we've created a unique opportunity to support them. In our upcoming class series, Jump, Pray and PenPal, we will email and then meet virtually w/ the students of The Apparent Project School. This class will give kids the chance to bond with Haitian kids and gain compassion and insight into how other kids around the world live. It is our hope that we will create friendships by learning about each other and taking part in lifting each other up in prayer. Not much is more sweet and powerful than the sincere prayer of a child and we’re excited to see the wonderful things that God does through our efforts! As a springboard to connection, the kids will learn basic jump roping skills which the students in Haiti will be doing, as well. They'll have fun with this regardless of their level of experience with jump roping because we first learn how to jump over a line and keep the beat to skipping rhymes and then we’ll progress to tricks. No rope is needed for the class as they’ll learn how to use their “invisible jump rope” with the end goal being to use a rope w/ efficiency. This class will run for an hour each week for 4 weeks and will be taught by Ms. Kim. The class will take place in a meet-up area of our website and class will be held virtually on Tuesdays from 10-11AM EST. The cost is $40 per family plus a donation in the amount your family is led to give to the Apparent Project in Haiti to help cover their rent. The outline is listed below and is subject to change based on the needs of all the students. Week 1: Introduction to class, Haiti and Apparent Project, fun jump rope skills, compose a penpal email as a class and translate to Haitian Créole to send. Week 2: Read penpal letter received from Apparent Project children, pray for their needs, fun jump rope skills, compose a class pen pal letter back. Week 3: Fun jump rope skills and Virtual Call with Apparent Project students! Week 4: Write penpal email, fun jump rope skills, pray for Apparent Project, wrap up.
