Whether you are homeschooling or supporting your k Whether you are homeschooling or supporting your kids in a classroom setting, understanding personality styles can help you nurture and support their educational needs. In this episode of Learn Their Way, we’re going to dive into the Myers-Briggs framework — specifically how the introversion/extroversion and judging/perceiving tendencies can impact learning.

This week’s activity comes from our Pumpkin Fami This week’s activity comes from our Pumpkin Family Activity Guide. Dye dried pumpkin seeds using food coloring (with a little bit of hand sanitizer as a binding agent). Seeds can be counted, sorted, used for patterning, or added to a sensory bin. **Note: if your child still puts items in their mouth, please wait on this activity until that phase has passed.** Get more pumpkin-themed activities for toddlers, preschoolers, and primary grade students here: https://melissadroegemueller.vipmembervault.com/products/courses/view/40 #homeschoolpreschool #preschoolathome #earlylearning101 #littlelearners #totschool #toddlerfun #preschoolplay #preschoolfun #earlyyearsideas #preschoollearning #preschoollife #preKathome #playbasedpreschool #toddleractivities #preschoolactivities #preKactivities #sensoryactivities #handsonlearning #messyplay #handsonactivities #learningathome #learnathome #homeschoollife #homeschoolersofinstagram #homeschoolingideas #homeschoolblog #homeschoolfamily #thisishomeschool #homeschoollookslikethis #homeschoolingmom
I'm not sure that I ever thought I'd be teaching c I'm not sure that I ever thought I'd be teaching chemistry. And to be clear, I'm not really *teaching* -- more like co-learning. It's one of the best parts of homeschooling, being able to reclaim my education and learn things for the joy of it (instead of just cramming in what I can for a test). We are taking an online video course with a science teacher who knows what she's talking about, and I'm studying for about an hour a day to understand the words coming out of her mouth. (And then my 5th grader explains it to me...because she reads every book I can find about bonds and orbitals).

I’ve mentioned before that I love personality te I’ve mentioned before that I love personality tests. It’s empowering to discover the parts of me that are similar to other people — to name things we have in common. It helps me build community and feel less alone. But I have to be careful when I use that knowledge to make assumptions about other people, especially my children. Because even if we have something in common, it might not manifest itself the same way. We need to understand that our kids are going to grow and change. Some labels will stick around for a short time, and others will last a lifetime. To hear why we need to be careful putting labels on our kids — even positive ones — and why we all need to take a break and rest every once in a while, you can listen to episode 7 of the Learn Their Way podcast: https://rollingprairiereaders.com/episode7/ #intentionalmotherhood #thisismotherhood #motherhoodjourney #parenting #momlife #slowdownmotherhood #joyfulmamas #kidsforreal #momsofinstagram #respectfulparenting #happyfamily #raisinghappykids #parentingwin #childledlearning #growthmindset #momentsinmotherhood #parentinggoals #raisingkids #learningathome #homeeducation #learnathome #homeschoollife #homeschoolpreschool #preschoolathome #homeschoolblog #homeschoolfamily #thisishomeschool #homeschoolingmom #parentingpodcast #learntheirway
