It's That Time of Year

Where we worry that we're not on pace to make it or finish in time or cover it all... or [insert your fear about your kids' progress or lack there of.]

I'm going to say something very controversial in the homeschool world. It might ruffle your feathers. You might vehemently disagree. (That's okay; we can still be friends.)

You do not need to finish scripted curriculum with 150 lessons taught 4-5 days per week to give your kids a world-class education at home. 😲

I would argue that curriculum is primarily a tool for the parents to help us organize the ideas and learn the foundational aspects of the subject area.

Curriculum - Race Course

The word curriculum stems from the Latin verb "currere," which means to run. The noun curriculum literally translates to "race course."

The word has evolved to mean a course of study.

But we don't teach curriculum. We teach children.

We use curriculum to teach children.

That subtle mindset shift is incredibly important as you assess progress.

If you aim to teach effectively and cultivate a love of learning in your home, children learning trumps curriculum boxes checked.

Happy homeschooling, friends!!

Podcast Launching March 18!

I've had the best time talking to Cindy Rollins, Andrew Pudewa, and other leaders and veterans in the homeschooling space.

However... one of my absolute favorite episodes was actually recorded with a friend. An in-real-life-everyday-homeschooling-in-the-trenches mom like you and me.

I can't wait for you guys to hear these conversations! My goal is to equip, inspire, and encourage you in your everyday homeschooling journey.

I think professional podcast people launch trailers and promotional videos and whatnot. Ain't nobody got time for that over here.

BUT!! Here is a 5 minute audio clip from Cindy Rollins. In just 5 minutes, she will shower you with encouraging wisdom! 💜
