When Katie's daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor, their family was uprooted and sent five hundred miles away to St. Jude Hospital. People suggested putting their other children in school because homeschool and cancer are just too hard. The gradual adoption of an unschooling approach to learning created the flexibility that saved their homeschool. It equipped their children to flourish in an impossible situation. Katie will share practical steps to deconstructing a classroom mentality and how to bolster your homeschool to stand firm in the waves of life.

Most kids don't learn time management naturally. As parents, we so often feel like our students don’t manage their time well.

In our social media exchanges, we often find parents asking, "Do I have to teach Math-U-See the way Steve teaches it?"

Join our team to dive deeper into WHY things like place-value notation, estimation, and manipulatives are all designed for your student's mathematical success.

Fluent math fact recall is a struggle in SO many households. What should a parent do when they find that their student is using ineffective recall strategies?

Bring your questions and let us help you solve the challenge of fact recall.

Sometimes we forget that good journeys have endings. Homeschool moms often feel adrift when their journeys end. Join us for this important discussion about how to plan for your future now so that you can move from one phase of life to another with grace and joy.

Grammar is a subject many parents feel is boring and outdated, but we would like to change the conversation. You engage with your student grammatically every time you talk to them. Instead of considering grammar as something to dislike, what if you considered it a tool to help your student become a better writer? Join us for a lively conversation about using grammar effectively in your learning endeavors. We promise to take the sting out of the conversation.
