Cultivating Curiosity In The Summer | 207

Summer time is upon us, and with it comes some great opportunities for building on what our kiddos have learned and the things they have enjoyed during the school year—but with a much more relaxed and natural approach.  

Rachel Figg is joining us today to talk all about Cultivating Curiosity In The Summer by exposing our children to music, art, stem, and PE, which are often things we can fail to get to in our regular homeschool days. We’ll discuss the importance of these enrichment activities for our children’s growth, as well as give insight into how incorporating these in the summer can enhance your next school year as well.
