E98: Home Ed Series: Deschooling & Reconnecting Children With Learning Naturally with Kelly Edwards from 90-Minute School Day

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Kelly Edwards joining us. Kelly is an entrepreneur, licensed foster parent, creator of the 90-Minute School Day, and homeschool mom to 3. Seven years ago when Kelly first began to homeschool, she tried to bring school home and the boxed curriculum was the teacher. She soon realized this was not going to work.Through her real-life failures, connections with other families in similar straits, and the guidance of some amazing mentors; Kelly redefined what she wanted homeschool to be like for her family. This is where the 90-Minute School Day was born.Through this lifestyle approach to education, Kelly’s method connects children with learning in their natural environment: at home with their family. This method guides the homeschooling parent with a framework and system that will spark imagination, ignite wonder, and inspire your whole family to adventure.So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to the mountains of West Virginia and discuss how to detox and launch our new diet of learning naturally in our homeschools!If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice. We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have. Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show Notes90-Minute School Day website: Welcome - 90-Minute School Day (90minuteschoolday.com)Instagram: @ 90minuteschooldayClubhouse: @ 90minschooldayBooks Mentioned:Teach Your Own by John Holt- https://amzn.to/3FBDk1U Learning All The Time by John Holt- https://amzn.to/3oL4XzTMontessori: A Modern Approach by Paula Lillard- https://amzn.to/3anFTGvThe Secret of Childhood by Maria Montessori-  https://amzn.to/3AvAckHFor The Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay- https://amzn.to/3uZXD4qOwn Your Life by Sally Clarkson- https://amzn.to/3Fx5HP1Other related episodes:Free To Learn with Dr. Peter Gray- https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/7701526Unschooling With Robyn Robertson- https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/8983186A Montessori Homeschool with Aubrey Hargis- https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/895406021st Century Charlotte Mason Education with Leah Boden-https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/8842675Ongoing Community Support:Our Free Homeschool Getting Started Packet: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/guide-to-getting-started-packet-1.pdfOur Free Ultimate Family Camping / Outdoor Checklist: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/camping-checklist-2.pdfThe Waldock Way: https://www.thewaldockway.com/ref/76/Wild Learning Curriculum:
