Listen Later

Tired of the daily grind of homeschooling? Join Pam Barnhill and her team as they share how Your Morning Basket Plus Explorations can breathe new life into your homeschool. In this episode, Pam is joined by team members Ali and Laney to discuss how using Explorations as the basis for elementary homeschool subjects can nurture relationships, reduce stress, and encourage a love of learning. 

Hear real-life examples of how topics like baseball, ponds, artwork, and nature have captured children's imaginations across various ages. Discover how activities in music, poetry, picture study, and more can provide a rich learning experience tailored to each child's interests and abilities. If you're looking for an engaging way to teach multiple ages, subject areas, and learn alongside your children, take advantage of this insightful conversation. Let explorations help you rediscover the joy and meaning at the heart of homeschooling.

Key Takeaways:

  • Morning Basket Explorations can be the core of an elementary homeschool curriculum, covering subjects like science, history, art, and more.
  • Explorations nurture relationships between siblings as they learn together on topics tailored to their individual levels.
  • High-interest topics like baseball, ponds, fairy tales, trains, and more encourage kids to dive deep into subjects over a month.
  • Consistent activities in each plan, like music, poetry, and picture study, provide a well-rounded experience.
  • Focus is on learning and making connections rather than output of worksheets or compositions.
