In this special holiday episode of the 90-Minute School Day podcast, you’re invited to take a break from your usual learning routine and embrace the gift of "Holiday Hooky."
Let’s get tactical on navigating the busy month of December and finding balance amidst gatherings, festivities, and daily responsibilities.
This episode emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing peace during the holiday season. Gain the encouragement you need as a homeschooling parent to assess your values and make intentional decisions that align with your family's goals.
Here’s your permission slip to take a break from traditional learning and play "Holiday Hooky" instead. The benefits of this break are explored, highlighting how novelty and a change of pace can enhance learning experiences.
Delve into five key areas of learning inspired by Maria Montessori to offer a fresh perspective on how holiday activities that happen naturally in your home contribute to education. These areas are: Practical Life, Sensorial experiences, Language, Math, and Cultural understanding.
Everyday examples of holiday activities are shared and the learning within them decoded through the lens of these 5 areas. Together, we explore the richness of learning opportunities embedded in holiday traditions, encouraging you to align these experiences with your homeschooling goals.
One of the gifts of the season you receive in this episode is the gift of presence: encouragement to prioritize family time, recognize the value of the holiday season in fostering learning, and play "Holiday Hooky."

In this episode we address the universal question: "Why don’t kids like school?" Tune-in and re-consider the challenges faced by children in conventional school settings (both at home and in a classroom) and what home educating parents may want to do differently.
Unraveling the Mystery:
This episode challenges the perception that kids don't like learning. Instead, we suggest that adults may struggle to recognize and honor learning that is meaningful to the child. Listen in and explore the idea of actively engaging with children's self-chosen learning, entering their world, and offering non-judgmental support.
Reshaping the Approach to Learning:
We examine the need to reevaluate and reshape the approach to learning in homeschools by:
Introducing the philosophy of the 90-Minute School Day, drawing inspiration from educational philosophers Maria Montessori, Charlotte Mason, and John Holt.Defining deschooling and its benefits.Answering, “Is deschooling the same as unschooling?”Discussing the challenges in shifting paradigms.Carving out a space for natural learning.Linking neuroscience to thinking and learning.Building memory libraries in children’s minds.Sharing practical takeaways.Resources and Support:

In this episode, we explore why reading aloud is the first answer for any disability, difference, resistance, struggle, overwhelm or doubt in your homeschool.
Mindset Moment
Let’s reframe the "learn to read, read to learn" adage.Training + Tools
We explore 6 definitions to answer the question, “What is language?”We answer why reading aloud is the first answer to various learning or behavioral challenges in homeschooling.We dig into neurodiversity noting some (not all) of the struggles with learning differences and how to use the child’s strengths associated with their learning difference to access and approach reading aloud. Learning differences discussed: autism, non-verbal, adhd, dyslexia, hearing-impaired.Reading aloud is the first answer to homeschooling challenges because it is a low-demand approach for any struggle you and your children are experiencing in a particular season because it is relational. Reading aloud together builds (or repairs) relationships by facilitating understanding of not only the content, but one another.
On a hard day. Drop the drainers, pick up a book and read aloud together.

Welcome to the 90-Minute School Day podcast, where we embrace a natural approach to learning!
I'm Kelly Edwards, and I'm thrilled to have you join me on this exciting journey where we walk together, in community, helping to guide one another across the rough patches, unexpected wash-outs and admire the beauty and wonder along the way.
As a foster-adoptive mama raising three neurodivergent girls with my husband in the foothills of WV, I'm on a mission to share the wonders of natural learning and it’s meaningful connections with the world.
Gone are the days of the traditional school system! Instead, we've chosen to live and learn at home, alongside our kids, fostering a community of out-of-the-box thinkers who are both confident and compassionate. If you're tired of the conventional or school-at-home approach and seek a more enriching path, this podcast is for you.
Together, we'll embark on a deschooling journey, helping you to recognize and break free from old mindsets first. Next, how to prepare nurturing learning environments and support opportunities that present themselves. We’ll also talk through healthy relational, emotional and time boundaries to plan your daily rhythm. Don't worry, it won't consume your entire day – all you need is 90 minutes or less for a world-class education!
Here at the 90-Minute School Day, we prioritize relationship-centered learning. No pretense, just genuine experiences. We'll celebrate the bright moments, but also address the challenges and shadows that come with homeschooling. Real talk is essential, and we'll tackle it with storytelling, insights from neuroscience, key learnings, and a flexible mindset.
So, let's laugh, linger, repair and love together as we navigate the ups and downs of homeschooling. Join me on this adventure, and together, we'll raise curious, creative, and caring individuals.
School's out, and natural learning is in!
