Why Now is the Best Time to Study China in Your Homeschool In Due Season Episode 007 Track List: Intro to Episode 007 Digging Deeper Into the Eastern Hemisphere Using Hands On Learning Kits Why We Need to Learn About China Now Learning Empathy Through Story The Importance of Adding Biographies to Your Homeschool Keeping the True Geography of the World in Perspective Celebrating 30 Years of Sonlight Early in 2020, China was at the top of every news story. As shut downs from the Covid-19 outbreak began, we looked to China for vital first information. Our children were seeing the empty streets of towns and cities they had never heard of before. The problem is that the context was couched in the fear of a dangerous and unknown sickness. As adults, it is easy to rapidly move from one news story to the next without changing gears. This influx of news snippets and bold headlines are constantly reshaping our world view under the surface. We combat this slide with the facts that we have stored in our minds. By using EHE this school year to study China, we take the helm and intentionally we begin to shape our children's view of the parts of the world they cannot see... Read the FULL Blog post HERE Do you want to learn more about Sonlight's Hands On History Kits? Here is the link to Hands-On History Kit for World Cultures and Chinese art, calligraphy. Hungry for more? Stay tuned for more reasons why I am excited to be using EHE for the third time to study China and more with my homeschool students in EP008 next week.

I chatted with Sarita Holzmann a few months ago about literature and encouraging our kids to have a love for good books. While we chatted we started to get on the topic of missions. This is a HUGE topic in our home as my oldest is feeling led to the mission field. I wanted to have Sarita back on the podcast just to chat about this topic. We are going to be talking about raising global-minded kids with a heart for the world. Particularly,  missions and how we can raise mission-minded kids. Sarita Holzmann is the founder of Sonlight Curriculum, speaker, writer, curriculum developer, missions advocate, beloved wife, veteran homeschool mom, and active grandmother. Some of the topics Sarita and I discuss include:  What is your experience with missions and mission work?  Why do you think teaching a grand worldview is important? What are some ways we as parents can raise mission-minded kids?  What would you say to a parent whose child has told them they feel led into the mission field? What are some ways we as parents can prepare our children for this and what courses of study would you recommend?  How can books help expand a child’s horizons, growing a big world perspective?  Why is it important for our kids to have an understanding of world history and world cultures? Particularly if they have no desire to leave the US  What are the Benefits of a literature-based education in raising global-minded children   What does literature add to the study of the world?
