What Really Matters at the End of the School Year? with Mandy Davis
Description
Something I think that is important to do as we wrap up the school year and head into the summer is to assess our why. It doesn’t matter whether your kid is homeschooled, public-schooled, or private-schooled; summer is a big vibe shift. Even people who have a more traditional ebbs and flows to life sense a change in rhythms as summer approaches.
I’m going to talk to former public school principal turned homeschool mom and creator behind Home Built Education Mandy Davis. We are going to answer each of these heart assessment questions for ourselves and hope that as we brainstorm, it generates intentionality in you as well. I hope that before or after every question, you will pause and answer it for yourself as well.
When your kids look back at how they were raised, what do you hope they say?
“When your child is an adult, and someone says, 'Wow, you were homeschooled, what was that like? What do you want them to say?'"
What do you want them to say about you as the homeschool parent?
What brought you the most joy, being with your kids more?
What are some practical things that have shifted that you think have helped? (for me it’s been literature-based learning)
As a parent, how have your kids seen you be an example of a lifelong learner?
