Episode 217: Homeschooling: The 6 Year Old Perspective Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode, Arial sat down with our 6.5yo and asked her some questions about homeschooling. She's a goofy, funny kid who enjoyed her time in front of the microphone. At the beginning and end of the chat Arial and I discuss her answers and laugh about the last year. This is a light episode that we will do every year, hoping to capture our daughter's feelings as she grows older.

Episode 215: Social Opportunities Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

There’s a popular misconception that homeschoolers are antisocial or socially awkward. While there’s little truth to that in our modern homeschooling world, it does take additional effort for us to ensure our children are able to meet and make friends with other kiddos. Today on the show we’ll be talking about our favorite social opportunities for our kids, from co-ops, to scouts, to volunteering and more!

Episode 211: Our Review of Explode The Code (Kindergarten) May 30, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode we talk about our experience with Book 1 (Kindergarten) of Explode the Code. This is a very popular phonics based reading program that we've been using over the last few months. We've talked in the past few podcasts about how we've been using multiple curriculums as a way to drive mastery with respect to reading. Explode the Code has been one of those tools.
