136: How We Homeschool Through a Pandemic: What's Next?

It feels like we're on a roll with routines and academic progress... but we're also wondering: Where do we go from here? Are we going to take a summer break? Should we be signing up for fall activities? We talk through this and more in our two segments: "State of the Family" (what's going on) and "The Nitty Gritty" (what we're actually doing every day).   Highlights from this episode:  -Are we going to take a summer break? What about signing up for fall things? It's hard to know what to do!   -Where are we at with screen time? Angela shares an update about the changes to their screen routine.   -What about unmet academic expectations? Maren talks about deciding what expectations to meet and which ones to let go of for now.   IG Live Join us on Wednesday at 1pm (CDT) for an Instagram Live!
