A working mom and a stay at home dad help you navigate the complex and dynamic world of secular homeschooling with a focus on early learners and gameschooling.
People outside of homeschooling circles often have a vision of homeschoolers who are gathered around the dining room table learning all day. This is rarely the case. Typically we can be just as busy, if not more busy, than traditionally schooled kids. Without the mandated school day to get in the way, we find lots of other ways to fill our time. From clubs, to sports, to enrichment classes and meetups, homeschoolers are often on the go a lot! Today we’ll talk about how to recognize when you’re overscheduled and how to find the right balance.

Enjoy! :) Having a house full of books is about more than providing entertainment or fulfilling a learning requirement. Books are gateways to experience new places and people, launchpads to discovery, and friends waiting to be met. In our family, our book collection is large and constantly growing. At just over 2000 books we only have one problem: shelf space! A book collection is a treasure, but not if you can’t find the book you need or they’re so haphazard that natural discovery is inhibited. So today on the show we’re talking about book organization! We’ll share our methods for taming this beast and hopefully give you some tips and tricks that you can use in your home.

Contrary to uninformed public opinion, we homeschoolers are busy! There are playdates, co-ops, trips to the library, nature walks, sports, and those are just the things we do outside of the home. While at home we’re busy creating art, performing science experiments, acting out scenes from history, or reading our 67th book of the day. While a full schedule can be lots of fun, today on the show we want to explore an equally important item on the agenda: quiet time. This is an opportunity for ourselves and our kids to slow down, reflect, recharge, and possibly discover interests they may not otherwise have time to explore. What is quiet time?

As homeschoolers, we know that learning happens all the time, even when we’re not formally conducting a “lesson”. This is especially true every time we get our kids in the kitchen with us. Preparing a family meal, a special dessert, or just a snack can host a wealth of learning opportunities. Today we’re going to dive into Kitchen Classroom to discuss the importance of cooking with your kids and how you can make it a rich and positive experience for everyone! Why cook with your kids? What academics can your kids learn through cooking? What are your homeschool goals with cooking? What if you don’t know how to cook?

As we prepare to start the school year, we're embarking on Math Week! This week we'll be reviewing several top math curriculums to give you insight into which might be the best program for your learners. Today we're talking about The Good and the Beautiful Simply Math Curriculum.
Note: The Good and the Beautiful is a Christian-centered curriculum; however, after reviewing Grade 1 fully, we feel it is a valid choice for secular families. There are only a handful of religious references in this 300+ page curriculum. As a secular family, we would feel comfortable using this and omitting religious content, but as always, we encourage everyone to use whichever curriculum they feel most comfortable with and that best aligns to their family's style and values.

Having a house full of books is about more than providing entertainment or fulfilling a learning requirement.

As we are about to embark on a new year full of the joys and challenges of homeschooling, we want to take a step back and discuss our purpose. When you’ve had a hard day, understanding your purpose (and being aligned with your spouse or partner) can help you to see through to a brighter day ahead. Today we discuss our homeschooling purpose and encourage you to reconnect with your own. Purpose is the why of homeschooling. This is the list you’ll want to come back to when you hit a hard day. It’s good to be able to remind yourself why you embarked on this educational journey. Arial's Items * Build close family connections (parents to children, siblings to one another) * Ensure our daughters have and never lose a love of learning * To let our children have a childhood. Not a stressful school/homework life that feels more like the work of adulthood * To give our children enough experiences and opportunities to discover what they want to do for a career (johnny example of a good kid, high grades, who still doesn’t know what he wants to do because he was so busy in high school) * To protect our children from bullying and adverse relationships (poor teachers they would be stuck with in school, kids they shouldn’t be friends with, etc.) * To re-experience learning with my children. So many things I didn’t get to learn that I want to have that opportunity with them * To give our children the best, most comprehensive education that we can. We can provide a more individualized, correctly paced education than any school, public or private Matt's Items * Being together as a family. After years of working and grinding, I didn’t want to miss out on their youth. * Freedom to travel and vacation without the requirements of the school schedule * Critical thinking and deep focus * Creating lifelong learners * Getting away from the Test mentality, 3hr of homework a night, and the performance stress.

You may already be well acquainted with your local public library, but libraries often have more to offer than many homeschoolers realize. Libraries are transforming to keep up with the educational needs of families in surprising ways. Today we review our favorite physical and digital library resources to enhance your homeschooling adventure! Discussion Physical - So much more than books! CDs, DVDs, Audiobooks, and video games oh my! Boardgames and puzzles (we wish), and other toys (music makers, puppets, etc.) Printer access (now often remote print). Color & B&W. Ours is 70 pages B&W per day! Laptops Some libraries loan tools if you need to build something to support your homeschool Makerspaces with 3D printers, graphing calculators, audio recording equipment Digital Ebooks and e-readers themselves Remote tutoring (95% of public libraries provide access to tutoring sites) Animated picture books Music Learning printables (coloring pages, worksheets, games, puzzles themed around specific books) Learning: Foreign Language, lynda.com Pictures (the NYPL has 200,000 free images even w/o a library card including manuscripts from the founding fathers) Research: Digital encyclopedias, magazines, biographies, geneology Events Free or discounted passed to museums, zoos and other attractions Summer reading programs (usually book awarded at the end) Storytime, playgroups, science lab Teen programs How-to classes (crafting, music, coding, foreign language, etc.) Fitness and mindfulness classes (yoga, tai chi, etc.) Event space for your co-op group! Our tips Most importantly ask! Librarians have a masters degree in library science. If anyone can find a resource you need, they can! If you live outside a major metro area, see if you can get a card for the city library. If a book isn’t available, ask for inter library loan or ask if your library will purchase it!

“Homeschooling is the pursuit of knowing, learning, and exploring the world without the pressures of school. Life and learning become one.” - Julie Bogart (Brave Writer / The Brave Learner) From episodes 4 and 5 you know the requirements to homeschool in your state and a guideline of what you could teach, but can you really do this? We all ask ourselves “Am I truly qualified to teach my children? I’m not a teacher. Will they still learn what they need to? Will they still be enriched as they would in a classroom?” If you don’t know where to start and it seems overwhelming, follow these steps and you’ll get going. Step 1: Breathe and Believe Step 2: Find inspiration Step 3: Choose a Method (How) Step 4: Choose Curriculum (What) Step 5: Plan Your Schedule (When) Step 6: Find Community and Friends Step 7: Just Start!

Your state may or may not require that you teach certain subjects, but they don’t specify what within those subjects you should teach. While you have the freedom to tailor your child’s education, you may be wondering what the public school in your area would be teaching depending on grade. This can be a strong influence on what you teach (especially if you intend to send your child to public school at some point in the near future) or it can just give you some helpful guidance to plan your own studies.
