Hi, homeschool mom,
Do you wonder how to start interest-led learning in your homeschool? We've been there and are giving you a peek into how we figured it out.
In this episode of 'A Drop in the Well,' Kim tells about the system she used to get her kids involved in deciding what they wanted to learn. Find out how utilizing good ol' sticky notes, leaning into the ability to let go, and giving kids the reins to their education could transform their academic journey. This collaborative effort in curriculum choice might be just what your homeschooling experience needs!
Blessings,
~Kim & Jenny

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.
This led her to write a how-to book for families who want to start a homeschool co-op.
Gather around, listen in, and be inspired by this amazing mama who is one of the homeschooling pioneers.
Blessings,
~Kim & Jenny https://www.thehomeschoolwell.com/

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!
Kim& Jenny
