Methods, Philosophies (and why you don’t need them) {Episode 67}

Today the sisters are chatting about methods and philosophies and why you don’t necessarily need to choose one in order to homeschool.

Cait + Kara share their own experiences, and about learning this lesson the hard way – one of them even got booted from a group! (Wait until you hear the reason).

The sisters also talk about finding support if you don’t choose a strict method to follow.

WONDER CRATE

Wonder Crate is a subscription box that introduces kids to inspirational role models, sparks their curiosity and connects them to their own possibilities. At Wonder Crate we believe who they see, shows them who they can be.

Each box includes a book from the popular Who Was/Who Is series that inspires kids with tales of true heroism as well as stories of kids their own age that are thinking BIG and using their strengths to make a difference. Persistence, resilience, bravery, curiosity….learn about the skills they used to change the world. Then use your creativity to build a bridge like Leonardo, your curiosity to create a computer game like Bill Gates or your bravery to write letters like Malala. Each box comes with fun hands-on activities to empower kids and connect them to their own possibilities.

Together we can inspire the next generation to think big about the impact that they can have in the world and the skills that they will need to pursue their passion and make the world a better place.

For each box sold, Wonder Crate will make a donation to a child that is making a difference. Go to WonderCrate.com to subscribe today. Use code SISTERS to get 15% off. Boxes ship on the 15th of each month.
