313 Preparing for a Stellar School Year

AMDG.  Today we are joined by three Kolbe academic advisors and veteran homeschool moms to get some advice on how to make a good start to homeschooling in general and specifically homeschooling with Kolbe Academy.  

Kristin Pizzurro, Jennifer Thomas, and Elyse Williams have years of homeschooling experience. They discuss everything from finding your homeschool space, preparing for a new year to different ways to structure your day. All with an eye to making homeschooling fruitful for the whole family.
