Summertime Schedule That Breeds Continued Learning and Flexible Fun - Lauren Schmitz

The Counter Culture Mom Show on Oneplace.com

Don’t push your kids into consequence-based learning - instead, embrace the easy, breezy days of summer and utilize the looser schedule to implement a unique but fruitful educational routine! Lauren Schmitz is the creator of the blog, The Simple Homeschooler. She is a former emergency room nurse who began homeschooling her children and she’s offering insightful tips and tricks about how to keep your little ones entertained during the hotter months while preventing the summer slide of learning that can be hard to overcome in the fall. A two-and-a-half month break, Lauren shares, is a little out of balance. She gives fun learning ideas to keep kids invigorated during the school break, while also keeping the day open for memory-making fun! TAKEAWAYS Try reading a book together and then watch the movie adaptation as a family (books like Stuart Little or The Borrowers) Connect your child with a penpal - it’s a fun way to engage in creative writing and grammar exercises while getting to know someone new When you start the day out with digital screens, it’s hard to get your child to focus on anything else Let kids be kids and have fun but have just enough structure so that they can hold onto their education over the summer 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo Simple Homeschool Activities: https://bit.ly/4aLRI6W Kids Bowl Free: https://www.kidsbowlfree.com/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH LAUREN SCHMITZ Website: https://www.thesimplehomeschooler.com/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Ascent Nutrition (get 10% off with code TINA): https://goascentnutrition.com/tina Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/free-trial?field-3=counterculturemom 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow 📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1654/29
