Car-schooling with Jonathon Park Audio Adventures

I once asked a seasoned homeschooler how she managed to fit so many activities and events around 'schoolwork'. She told me she had mastered the art of car-schooling!

Plenty of learning takes place in the car: Organic discussion of topics, answering questions, reading and the odd math quiz...and then she mentioned audio books.

We had only ever attempted an audio book in the car, once, and then a little person shoved chips into the CD player and that was the end to audio books.

But recently I got a new car - one from the 2000's - that has bluetooth capability and all of a sudden, audio books were back!

The problem? Finding ones engaging enough that kids actually want to listen, that doesn't make me fall asleep while driving and is relevant for 3 boys aged
8 - 12.

Enter: Jonathon Park audio adventures.

These. Are. Brilliant.

These are highly engaging stories based around a family of creation scientists who go on all sorts of adventures while defending their faith with scientific evidence, learning life lessons and growing in Godly character.

It's wholesome, positive listening for Christian kids with some great science lessons and character studies thrown in.

It's important to let you know that these audio books are American so they can be a tad, um, cheesy at times. However, a little 'cheese' never hurt anyone and personally, I feel it counteracts some of the rubbish our kids watch on TV and youtube these days.

However, my boys didn't think it was cheesy at all - they loved it.

We listened to an entire series on a big family drive and they kept asking for more! It also inspired some great questions paving the way for deep and meaningful conversation and encouragement.

I LOVE Jonathon Park and highly recommend it for Christian families.

You can download the series on the website on to your phone so you can play at home on speakers or even better, in the car!

You can also subscribe so you get unlimited access which works out more convenient if your kids (and you) get really into it!

Inspiring Character That Lasts - We Choose Virtues Giveaway!

One of the benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to help shape our children's character. In fact, one of the points from our own homeschooling mission statement is that I desire.... To build strong character in my children believing that good character is more important than academic success Children are not born with a set of values and beliefs about the world - they are taught. This means they do not always naturally become kind, patient, content and diligent - they need to be guided, gently corrected and encouraged to embrace the kind of virtues that God desires within us. I find this a challenge with my incredibly spirited, strong-willed children (yes, all of them fit this description). I have often allowed myself to feel discouraged and disappointed in their behavior rather than see it as an opportunity to teach and shape their character. Another benefit of homeschooling is that we can encourage these vir...

Why I Chose Skwirk For Homeschooling

Over the years we've used a few different online learning resources but I'm particularly excited about trying something NEW for 2015. Skwirk has had a make-over and quite frankly, it's awesome. There is nothing quite like it around at the moment and it has some great functions that work well with homeschooling. It provides animation based lessons for younger ones as well as great options for independent learning for older kids all the way up to year 10. As an educational tool it is aligned with the Australian curriculum so if that's important to you, or you just like to occasionally see where your kids sit in relation to their peers (like I do) this is a good thing. The subjects it includes are maths, English, science, geography and history. My plan was to use this for my 5 year old who is 'technically' in his first year of school next year. However, once I learnt all the features of the program I'm thinking it will be a great resource for encour...

Homeschooling On The Rise in South Australia - Article In The Media

This is my family as pictured in an article on homeschooling in the Adelaide Advertiser. We look happy don't we? Laughing with joy as we learn together. It's true. We are happy. In fact, very happy to have the opportunity to be homeschooling. However, this recent article pointed out that the current rise in home education is not due to parents recognising homeschooling as a valid way to educate a child but because so many troubled children are being kicked out of school. Apparently, there are hoards of unhappy parents being forced to homeschool their children because the department of education no longer wants them in their system. My response is this: I've met lots of homeschoolers and interact with many online and I have never once encountered one who homeschools because the department kicked their child out of school - not even one. I'm not denying these families exist but they are clearly the minority. Many troubled children display troubled behaviors b...
