The to do list is like the life-blood of your day. You can't move or plan without it. At least it is for me. I live by my to do list. You write it all out so you can see what needs to be done and check those boxes when it does get done. I love that part. The downside of writing it all out is it is visually overwhelming. You want to cry when you see everything that you need to do. But you can avoid to do list overwhelm. Take a deep breath, let it out slowly, and let's tackle it. Show notes and links: https://lifeunboxed.blog/to-do-list Find your tribe.

Are you worried about making the wrong choices for your co-op?  Are you wasting time on opportunities that don't fit your community?  Are you lost in the weeds with all the decisions that need to be made?   In this episode we will talk about what a Mission Statement is and why you need one based on Godly principles that will stand the test of time. Many times when we begin building our community we waste a lot of time talking, meeting, and rehashing issues that don't improve the connection or foundation of our co-op.  The best way to stay focused on what is most important, is to create a solid Mission Statement.   Want to connect?

Together Ann and Matt authored The Book of Centuries: A Personal Timeline of History.  In 2022, they created Without Doors, a unique Charlotte Mason curriculum inspired by the successful lessons at Four Square Community. Using Without Doors has revitalized their homeschool and it is their hope it will do the same for yours. Principles of Minimalism that apply to homeschooling:  Determine your priorities Never buy something without a reason More is not always better - less is more Eliminate clutter  Keep things you use, that hold value, and/or spark joy Minimalism is different for everyone Avoid trends, gravitate towards classic Purchase intentionally, not spontaneously Quality over quantity RECOMMENDED RESOURCES: www.withoutdoorscurriculum.com Without Doors, a Charlotte Mason homeschool curriculum Without Doors: Life of Jesus Bible study  Without Doors History Curriculum   RECOMMENDED PODCAST EPISODES: Mark Hamby – The Word and the Power of Words Zan Tyler – Creating a Family Vision Sonya Shafer - Teaching Charlotte Mason (Homeschool Survival Series) Support Schoolhouse Rocked!

This week's topic is an important one as we'll be looking at homeschool co-op security and safety.  While we all wish this was a topic that didn't require serious consideration, in the day and age we live in we must have a solid plan to protect our kiddos when they're Co-op, church, etc.  Leslie is joined by Michael Mann today. Michael is a Marine Corps and law enforcement veteran currently serving as an expert in physical protection for both the corporate sector and faith-based organizations he has some incredible insights to offer us all.  This is an episode that we hope you'll share with your Co-op and tutorial leaders to make sure they have this information as well.   About the Guest:Michael Mann is a Marine Corps and law enforcement veteran, currently serving as an expert in physical protection for both the corporate sector and faith-based organizations. Michael will be joining us at Teach Them Diligently Pigeon Forge, TN May 4-6, 2023 where he'll be speaking on security issues. Make your plans to join us there. Get more details here. Topics Covered In This Episode:What are some of the threats facing homeschool co-ops? How do we protect our children while they attend school away from the home? What's law enforcement's role in protecting citizens (in general)?  You've probably heard Leslie refer to “Heart Schooling or Heart Schoolers” quite a bit on the show already, but we wanted to make sure you understood where it came from. Leslie wrote Heart School to help parents like you get more clarity about what God has CALLED you to do and then to see how you can find a lot of peace for your own heart and your family by allowing the vision God's given you to guide your day-to-day decisions.   The clarity Heart School will provide will help you remove friction in your relationships, it'll give you confidence that you're doing what is best-- and that you can do it well, bring clarity, peace, and structure to your days, and guide your everyday decisions with your vision in mind. I sincerely believe that EVERY Homeschool family, whether you're just starting out or whether you've been homeschooling for a long time, will benefit from Heart School. The class is digital, so you can watch it at your own pace, and many couples have benefitted from walking through it together. It contains several worksheets designed to make you think about and come up with strategies about things you may not have considered before.

Classical Education host, Adrienne Freas, brings forth workable ideas from her guest panel members.  Valerie Bishop for the love of learning, started a co-op fulfilling the mission to carry out a living education.  Randon Steinhauser listened to the needs of others. Wanting a blended style of learning inspired by nature, she created a nature-focused gathering. One of the biggest challenges has been to find ways to accommodate more and more students.  Jennifer Hartenburg started a hybrid homeschool community in the Christian Liberal Arts Tradition which grew out of a Charlotte Mason book club she began in 2016.  The ideas shared in this podcast are truly inspiring, while surprisingly simple. Gathering with others is golden wherever you begin your homeschool journey. Listen to the end of this podcast for the inspirational closing quotations. Ask yourself what your homeschool community would look like, while remembering that "the flowers aren't new, but the children are. "- Charlotte Mason. Some Topics and Ideas in this Episode Include: Biggest challenges in starting a co-op Building your classical education community  Specific steps in order to begin with intention and clarity  Modeling, teaching, and delegating tasks according to gifts Ways to include creativity in your homeschool  Adrienne's Favorite Mason Quotation:"All is mystery, being what the heart of man could not conceive of unless it had been revealed.'Great is the mystery of Godliness: God manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.' [1 Tim 3:16] And what a barren and dry land should we dwell in if our spirits were narrowed to the limits of that which we can comprehend! Where we err is in supposing that mystery is confined to our religion, that everything else is obvious and open to our understanding. Whereas the great things of life, birth, death, hope, love, patriotism, why a leaf is green, and why a bird is clothed in feathers––all such things as these are mysteries; and it is only as we can receive that which we cannot understand, and can discern the truth of that which we cannot prove, and can distinguish between a luminous mystery and a bewildering superstition, that we are able to live the full life for which we were made."- C. Mason, Ourselves, 201. Resources and Books & Mentioned In This EpisodeCourse Offerings for Bluebonnet Scholars: https://www.bluebonnetscholars.org/class-offerings/Primary Curriculum for Sweetwater Scholé: https://www.bewildandfree.org/youngnaturalistA Thinking Love by Karen GlassOurselves by Charlotte Mason______________________________This podcast is produced by Beautiful Teaching, LLC.OUR MISSIONWe exist for the benefit of both parents and teachers. Teaching is an art and teachers need opportunities to cultivate their craft. Parents need to feel confident that their children are receiving the best education possible. Therefore, our goals are to help parents make well-informed decisions about the education of their children, and to help teachers experience true joy in their vocation. We desire to bridge a large gap that currently exists between most classical schools and the parents who send their students to these schools. Immersing both parents and teachers into the beauty of good teaching is paramount to our goals! Our formative sessions are designed to be LIVE so that you can experience classical education through participating and doing. This is what is expected in classical education. In order to mentor you well, we invite you to participate for a full classical experience. Our online sessions assume modeling, imitation, and meaningful conversation as the basis of experiencing good teaching. OUR SERVICESIf you like our podcast, you will love our online sessions! We offer immersion sessions so you can experience classical pedagogy. A complete listing of our courses is at  https://beautifulteaching.coursestorm.com/Becoming an effective educator requires participation and doing, not merely listening to the ideals of a theory being talked about. Experiencing the labor of thinking, speaking, and asking questions is non-negotiable for a real classical experience. For this reason our courses are LIVE and not recorded. Participation is paramount to a true classical education. Teachers and Home Educators: Grow in your craft of teaching! Do you want to know how to apply what we discuss on our podcast? Check out our affordable on-line immersion courses with master teachers.  https://beautifulteaching.coursestorm.com/ Parents: Do you want to understand how to support your student in a classical school?

When Michael Perrone and his wife started homeschooling their five children, joining a co-op wasn't in the plans. It wasn't long, however, before they not only were a part of a co-op, but they were the ones who started it. In this focused and direct interview, Michael shares how anybody can start a co-op, why being a part of one is advantageous, and why we should keep things simple and manageable for the sake of all involved. Michael also shares about how homeschooling has allowed him to have a more active and positive influence on his kids, and how this has helped him become a better father. If you haven't found a homeschool co-op that's a good fit for your family's needs, that very well may mean that you will need to start one, and listening to this episode is a perfect way to start preparing.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Michigan this spring, causing nearly 2,000 new cases a day in early April, Bernita Bradley was ready. Bradley has worked as a parent advocate in her native Detroit for more than 10 years, helping connect both children and adults with educational opportunities. As Detroit schools announced its plans to transition to remote learning, Bradley saw an opportunity. With support from the National Parents Union, a Meet the Moment grant partner, Bradley launched Engaged Detroit, a homeschool co-op. Engaged Detroit also provides its homeschooling families with opportunities through partnerships like the Detroit College Access Network, which provides college and career pathway support and virtual college tours. The families regularly convene for African drum lessons, and occasionally the families go on educational trips, such as a recent tour of State Line Corp., the company that installs and maintains all the street lights in Detroit.
