On today’s episode, we’re diving into the incredible value of small homeschooling groups. Whether it’s a cozy co-op or a weekly meet-up with just a few families, these intimate settings offer unique benefits—deeper friendships, personalized learning, and a sense of community that larger groups can’t always provide. Sometimes, it’s the smaller connections that make the biggest impact on your homeschool journey.

Once homeschooling wraps up for the day, the dreaded question of "what’s for dinner?" can be a stressor if we haven't prepared. While exploring new meal ideas for the family can be daunting, relying on a meal delivery service isn't always feasible. That's where meal-planning apps step in. Today, we'll delve into several leading apps to see if they can alleviate the dinner-time stress.

As busy homeschool parents, sometimes we find that we’re just going through the motions, moving from one subject or activity to another without getting that depth of connection and response from our kids that we’re seeking. Today we’re reminded that we get out what we put in and discussing ways to be more present and engaged on our homeschooling journey.

Holiday Encore Episode
\n\nPeople 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.

Struggling writers can benefit from text-to-speech tools. One of the best ways to improve your writing is to hear it read out loud. For many people, it is easier to hear bad grammar than it is to read it. On today’s short bite we discuss a number of tools young writers can use to ‘play back’ their writing.

Struggling writers can benefit from speech-to-text tools. They allow private dictation without parent transcription. Kids can express thoughts freely without waiting for typing. However, the technology isn’t perfect. Transcripts need proofreading, lack punctuation, and require clear enunciation. Still, free options like Google Docs and Microsoft Dictate make speech-to-text more accessible. By overcoming transcription barriers, these tools help kids get ideas out quickly. Join us as we discuss the value of leveraging speech-to-text to empower young writers.

We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of how we’ll use these tools in the future, so today, we’ll give an overview and discuss some initial uses we’ve found. We intend to revisit this topic periodically as we learn more ways to leverage AI for our homeschool.

We as homeschoolers are home all the time. Sometimes we feel like we need to get away. To see or do something new, that's just ours. Today we talk about building out an in-home sanctuary that is your personal space. A place you call your own.

In today's Homeschooling Journeys we have Jeanne Faulconer, a homeschooling mom of three children. Jeanne writes for TheHomeSchoolMom.com blog and has homeschooled her three kids for 20 years and into college. It was great to have a conversation with someone who's "gone the distance" with their homeschooling. This was an inspiring interview full of great ideas, motivation, and perspective!

Special Note: We had a family emergency this weekend and the monday episode was delayed. We will be back to it on Thursday. We are sorry for the delay.
\n\nToday on the show we interviewed Kristina Garner, creator of the fantastic secular curriculum Blossom & Root. We discussed what drove her to develop this curriculum, why nature based learning is so critical, and how we should approach using the resources she provides. She also has lots of great advice for new homeschooling families as they embark on this rewarding journey.

This is an encore episode. We wish you all a happy holiday.
\n\nThis week on the podcast we're reviewing a game we played on a recent vacation (yes, we got time with no children!). The game is called Railroad Ink. It's a fast and fun roll and write game that we think will be in heavy rotation over the next few years.

\n\nToday we’re going to dive into the topic of a daily homeschool schedule! If your homeschool can sometimes feel chaotic, if there isn’t enough time to devote to your lessons, or if you’re just feeling like you could use more structure, then check out this episode and see if a daily schedule tune-up can help your family!
\n\nThink routine over schedule
\nCreate blocks of time
\nConsider the baby and toddler kids first
\nBe conservative with your estimates
\nDon’t fight gravity
\nYou don’t have to do every subject every day
\nIdentify priority subjects and use natural hooks
\nUse morning basket time
\nDon’t forget about unconventional time
\nMake a rough plan and try it out
\nDon’t be afraid to adapt and change
\nFor young kids alternate active with sit downtime
\nPlan time to get outside

Screens are everywhere. Today we talk about bringing a screen, purposefully, into our homeschool environment as a learning tool and a one-stop-shop to aid the educator. With a tablet, we can take our books on the go, reference our curriculum, teach, and enrich all from a single device. It’s not the totality of our homeschool, but it can do just about everything. Let's talk about how you can build a purposeful tablet-based learning platform.
\n\nWhy a tablet
\nFor the Educator
\nApps for the Educator
\nFor the learner
\nApps for the learner
\nThings to remember

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.

At some point, another person will express a negative opinion about your decision to homeschool your children. Whether it comes from a place of love or it’s a stranger who insists on having input on your parenting decisions, these expressed opinions can be hurtful, frustrating, and occasionally cause us to doubt ourselves. Today we’ll be talking about how to deal with the naysayers!
\n\nNaysaying opinions come in all shapes and sizes
\nThe motivation of Naysayers
\nIs this person someone in your life you care about?

Today on the show we’ll be talking about finding the balance with hybrid schooling!
\n\nThe challenge of hybrid schooling

In this episode we discuss how Matt made a small unit study around trees and plants in our area. This was something he wanted to teach the children and we discuss the details of what he's doing. But, the episode is a larger example of how we can build homemade unit studies, and fold that learning into our lives without it feeling like 'school'.

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.

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!

Elise is a trained teaching professional and has spent a number of years teaching at the K and 1st grade levels, as well as tutoring/teaching gifted children and homeschoolers.

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.

One of the best parts of homeschooling is that we don’t need to stick strictly to the core academic subjects. We can incorporate life skills and important lessons that our children might not otherwise get. Today we’ll be discussing ways that we can teach our kids about safety and emergency preparedness.

As promised today's short bite details a few gardening books I think would fit well in a homeschool gardening library. This is by no way a complete and exhaustive list of books, but they are the books that I find myself going back to over and over.

As homeschoolers, our kids are with us for much of their day and it’s inescapable for them to be exposed to news and events that we are concerned with. We’ve been having many difficult discussions in our house lately about both personal and global events and wanted to take this opportunity to talk about how we can approach tough topics with our kids in a way that is developmentally appropriate to have meaningful conversations.
\n\nBe prepared
\nDevelopmental age is a good starting place but use your judgment on your child

At some point, another person will express a negative opinion about your decision to homeschool your children. Whether it comes from a place of love or it’s a stranger who insists on having input on your parenting decisions, these expressed opinions can be hurtful, frustrating, and occasionally cause us to doubt ourselves. Today we’ll be talking about how to deal with the naysayers!
\n\nNaysaying opinions come in all shapes and sizes
\nThe motivation of Naysayers
\nIs this person someone in your life you care about?

Whether you’ve been homeschooling for years or are just getting started, we all have subjects that we, personally, don’t have strong skills in. Often this stems from our own childhood education and the struggles that we had. Now that you are your child’s primary educator, how do you teach a subject that you either don’t know or are not comfortable with? Today we’ll discuss and give you lots of ideas to tackle tough subjects!
\n\nEveryone has these subjects. (Even us as engineers)
\nDon’t be overwhelmed. Take a look at the subject if it’s one you’ve seen before. Maybe you remember more than you think
\nLearn with your kids!
\nAssess if you can or should teach the subject
\nUnderstand what you need to teach
\nLearn before teaching
\nTrack progress

In today's Unschooling Journeys we have Lindsey Middlemiss an unschooling mother of 2 from the UK. It was a wonderful conversation that spanned her reasons to home educate, the pivot to unschooling, and working with her neurodivergent ADHD children. It's a great interview for any homeschooling family that might be interested in unschooling.

This is a big one! We spend the episode discussing the Homeschool Parent Partnership. This is a local public school setup and geared towards homeschoolers (I know!). We've been attending this school for the last quarter of 2021. We discuss what we like, what we didn't like, the culture of the school, support, class types, and just about everything. If you're lucky enough to have a school choice option in your local area and are looking to join a parent partnership this is the episode for you.

We discussed what drove her to develop this curriculum, why nature based learning is so critical, and how we should approach using the resources she provides. She also has lots of great advice for new homeschooling families as they embark on this rewarding journey.

\n\nHaving 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.
\n\nEpisode 22 - Buy All The Books! https://homeschooltogether.fireside.fm/22
\n\nStep 1: Know what you have so you don’t buy duplicates!
\nStep 2: Organize by subject or collection
\nStep 3: Book placement and presentation
\nStep 4: Keep only the good stuff

It's Turkey Week and we're very busy with family. So, if you would indulge us with an episode from the archive. It's one of our favorite topics, BOOKS! We're getting into the holiday season and we know you're going to be shopping for books so we think this might help. Enjoy! :)
\n\nDiscussion
\nNew Books
\nAmazon Prime: need it now regardless of price
\nBook Outlet or KidsBooks.com: limited title selection. Create wishlist, emails when available, need $35 to free ship (otherwise $5 to US/CAN)
Used Books
\nSee our episode on finding used curriculum. All of those methods are applicable here
\nLocal resale: thrift, facebook marketplace, offerup, library book sales, used bookstore
New & Used Books
\nBookfinder.com: need to get a reliable ISBN first from Amazon or similar. Remember it includes shipping. You can check prices without shipping if you plan to buy multiple items. Protip - bookfinder also gives you the buyback offer for a book so you can have an idea what you could resell for to a company (private always more $$)
Sales
\nAmazon and Target buy 2 get 1 free sales. These happen a couple times a year. Have your wishlists loaded as items sell out. Must do separate purchases to maximize the discount.

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.
\n\nWhat is quiet time?
\nWhy is quiet time important?
\nHow to start quiet time in your homeschool

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!
\n\nWhy cook with your kids?
\nWhat academics can your kids learn through cooking?
\nWhat are your homeschool goals with cooking?
\nWhat if you don’t know how to cook?
\nTips to make it a positive experience

If your homeschool can sometimes feel chaotic, if there isn’t enough time to devote to your lessons, or if you’re just feeling like you could use more structure, then check out this episode and see if a daily schedule tune-up can help your family!
\n\nThink routine over schedule
\nCreate blocks of time

\nMake a rough plan and try it out
\nDon’t be afraid to adapt and change
\nFor young kids alternate active with sit downtime
\nPlan time to get outside

On today's (Un)schooling Journeys episode, we're talking with unschooling dad Ryan Billingsley from the Dad Suggests Blog. This was a great episode where we delved into the unschooling mindset. We talked about the challenge of letting go of the structure to enable more learning, and the trust needed to make that a reality. It was a great discussion primer on unschooling. If you're interested in the philosophy we think you'll get a lot out of this episode.

For many of us, we’ve chosen to homeschool our kids because we want to give them the education we never had. We want to show them a world of wonder and build a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. But with these earnest goals comes a challenge. How do we give our children an amazing education without feeling like we need to overschedule ourselves so that we don’t miss anything? With so many amazing curriculums and resources for homeschooling, how do we take the pressure off of ourselves (and our kids) to do it all?
\n\nIdentify FOMO
\nToo Many Great Resources
\nProjection
\nFear That the Child Will Fall Behind
\nPlace Boundaries to Alleviate FOMO

In today's episode, we had the pleasure to speak with Jessica Waldock from The Waldock Way. Her curriculum for elementary-aged children is unique in that it is meant to accommodate varying ages and isn't prescriptive, but rather provides a "feast" of resources for your learners. We also talked about her homeschool life in rural Florida and her experience homeschooling an only child. This was a very fun and informative interview!

Today on the show we interviewed Kristina Garner, creator of the fantastic secular curriculum Blossom & Root. We discussed what drove her to develop this curriculum, why nature based learning is so critical, and how we should approach using the resources she provides. She also has lots of great advice for new homeschooling families as they embark on this rewarding journey.

As gameschoolers we use games to have fun and teach along the way. Math in particular is well served by games. Addition or subtraction are easily found, but multiplication? Not so much. Some games feature small multipliers, but multiplication up to 12x12 is much more rare. On today’s Short Bite we’re diving into Mathery, a quick and fun Sequence-like game that’s perfect for kids struggling with multiplication. With variable difficulty and multiple modes of play, this game has lots to offer.

We sit down with Angie Burns, a full-time working mother to 2nd and 5th grade daughters. After finishing the last school year on Zoom, they decided to take the plunge and homeschool this year during the pandemic.

“I don’t want to do math! You can’t make me!” All of our careful homeschool planning can go right down the drain when our children dig their heels in and refuse to work with us.

On today’s show we’ll be discussing building motivation in our kids by being mindful of our language and expectations. We’ll also give you some creative tips and tricks to help bring harmony back to your homeschool.
\n\nTopics Covered:
\n\nWhy do kids refuse to work with us?
\nEnvironment (time and place)
\nPreparation
\nImplementation (lose them halfway through)

It’s the time of year when we’re making plans and reflecting upon what went well and what didn’t last year. Seeing these plans through to fruition is about more than desire and persistence. You have to set yourself (and your children) up for success. Today on the show we’re going to discuss the concept of S.M.A.R.T. goals and how you can use this system to hit your milestones and realize your plans.
\n\nThe S.M.A.R.T. concept
\nS: Specific
\nM: Measurable
\nA: Achievable
\nR: Realistic
\nT: Timely
\nNow that you have your goal well defined, how do you ensure that you meet it?
\nGoals are not set in stone

On today's Short Bite we're starting a series exploring the best first games to play with your preschool child! These are games that can be played as young as 2 and help to develop fine motor skills, color recognition, memory, cooperation, counting, and logic. Today we'll kick it off with our favorite early game, First Orchard from HABA! The quality, colorful components delight our children and they're learning important skills along the way!

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.
\n\nEpisode 22 - Buy All The Books! https://homeschooltogether.fireside.fm/22
\n\nStep 1: Know what you have so you don’t buy duplicates!
\nStep 2: Organize by subject or collection
\nStep 3: Book placement and presentation
\nStep 4: Keep only the good stuff

Are you tired of playing Monopoly, Candyland, or insert Milton Bradley title here, but you're unsure how to get your family beyond the classic (and mostly boring) board games? Settlers of Catan is THE gateway game. We've seen it be the spark that sets a family down a path of nerdy board game goodness and as gameschoolers we know the power games have to not only entertain, but teach valuable lessons and academic skills. If you've been on the fence about weightier board games at all, dip your toe into the waters of Catan and you'll be pleasantly surprised! Even better, Catan Junior offers a terrific way to help your kids break out of the Candyland mold too. Great artwork, simple mechanics, and intriguing strategy make this the perfect entry to the nerdy board game world. Welcome!

\n\nPlaying is quick, it’s constantly engaging, and the rules are deceptively simple. This is the perfect entry into roll and write games and a clever way to reinforce simple addition, so grab your dice tower and join us!

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.
\n\nPurpose 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.

Do you have a toddler who climbs up the bookshelves, eats crayons, rips the pages from books, screams when not the center of your attention, and generally makes your homeschool into daily chaos? No?

Today we sit down with Shannon Demiter, a hard-working mother homeschooling her three children, to discuss her journey and how she ensures that the individual needs of her children are met while maintaining a working farm and on-call small business. Shannon reminds us that so much is possible each day with a good plan, flexibility to change that plan, and a focus on why you’ve chosen to homeschool. Keeping that purpose ever-present helps to navigate the ups and downs of this dynamic way of life.

Go ahead and toss your copy of Scrabble because on today’s show we’re talking about the next evolution of the letter-tile-laying-game, Bananagrams! In this fast-paced game, players are trying to create their own personal crossword. But just when you think you have all your letters used, you draw more tiles to add to the mix. Will you be able to add it to what you already have on the table or do you need to rearrange your carefully built grid? Fun, fast, and full of great spelling practice, Bananagrams is a definite winner!

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!
\n\nDiscussion
\nPhysical - So much more than books!
\nCDs, DVDs, Audiobooks, and video games oh my!
\nBoardgames and puzzles (we wish), and other toys (music makers, puppets, etc.)
\nPrinter access (now often remote print). Color & B&W. Ours is 70 pages B&W per day!
\nLaptops
\nSome libraries loan tools if you need to build something to support your homeschool
\nMakerspaces with 3D printers, graphing calculators, audio recording equipment
Digital
\nEbooks and e-readers themselves
\nRemote tutoring (95% of public libraries provide access to tutoring sites)
\nAnimated picture books
\nMusic
\nLearning printables (coloring pages, worksheets, games, puzzles themed around specific books)
\nLearning: Foreign Language, lynda.com
\nPictures (the NYPL has 200,000 free images even w/o a library card including manuscripts from the founding fathers)
\nResearch: Digital encyclopedias, magazines, biographies, geneology
Events
\nFree or discounted passed to museums, zoos and other attractions
\nSummer reading programs (usually book awarded at the end)
\nStorytime, playgroups, science lab
\nTeen programs
\nHow-to classes (crafting, music, coding, foreign language, etc.)
\nFitness and mindfulness classes (yoga, tai chi, etc.)
\nEvent space for your co-op group!
Our tips
\nMost importantly ask! Librarians have a masters degree in library science. If anyone can find a resource you need, they can!
\nIf you live outside a major metro area, see if you can get a card for the city library.
\nIf a book isn’t available, ask for inter library loan or ask if your library will purchase it!

\nNew Books
\nAmazon Prime: need it now regardless of price
\nBook Outlet or KidsBooks.com: limited title selection. Create wishlist, emails when available, need $35 to free ship (otherwise $5 to US/CAN)
Used Books
\nSee our episode on finding used curriculum. All of those methods are applicable here
\nLocal resale: thrift, facebook marketplace, offerup, library book sales, used bookstore
New & Used Books
\nBookfinder.com: need to get a reliable ISBN first from Amazon or similar. Remember it includes shipping. You can check prices without shipping if you plan to buy multiple items. Protip - bookfinder also gives you the buyback offer for a book so you can have an idea what you could resell for to a company (private always more $$)
Sales
\nAmazon and Target buy 2 get 1 free sales. These happen a couple times a year. Have your wishlists loaded as items sell out. Must do separate purchases to maximize the discount.

“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)
\n\nFrom 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?”
\n\nIf you don’t know where to start and it seems overwhelming, follow these steps and you’ll get going.
\n\nStep 1: Breathe and Believe
\nStep 2: Find inspiration
\nStep 3: Choose a Method (How)
\nStep 4: Choose Curriculum (What)
\nStep 5: Plan Your Schedule (When)
\nStep 6: Find Community and Friends
\nStep 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.
