Transparent Homeschooling

#14- Unit Studies, Books, and Nature with Nicole


Listen Later

On today's episode, I chat with Nicole Blubaugh from Nevada about unit studies, unschooling, and book led learning. Nicole is a former elementary school teacher who realized early on that homeschooling was the right choice for her family. This is her 7th year homeschooling her two boys.  Unit studies, nature play, and child-led learning have always been at the forefront of their educational journey. Join me as I chat with her about their experiences. 

You can find Nicole on Instagram @book.led.learning or visit her Usborne Books and More bookshop at http://r10096.myubam.com/. She also has a blog coming soon!
