What is strewing and how can it help you homeschool? We strew to learn in our day to day and it has made all the difference. This is all about how strewing works and everything you need to get started.
I love to sleep in, snuggled deep into my covers, all cozy warm while the world gets started without me.
It’s a little piece of Heaven.
Two of my children are just like me in that regard, and for that, they’ll always be my favorites. Shhhhh… don’t tell the other two. ::wink::
The other two are the type of morning people night owls like me love to hate. They wake up talking. Ready to tackle the adventures of the day. And they want to drag non-morning people like me along with them, not understanding why we can’t form coherent sentences right off the bat.
And so I thought I was doomed to be a homeschool failure from the start.
But I wasn’t.
Strewing saved my mornings, and taught me that learning really does happen all the time.
Our homeschool has evolved over the years as I’ve gotten out of the way, and let my kids drive their own learning. I fill our home with fun and educational games, open-ended toys, amazing books, engaging documentaries, and give the kids rich experiences, and then watch what they get excited about and give them more of it.
I strew to inspire learning, creativity, and a love of exploration.
People ask all the time about the things I strew and how to do it because I share about it on Instagram and during my weekly Facebook Live chats.
And to answer them — and you! — I’m bringing you a quick and easy, no-fuss, chock-full of inspiration and ideas, five day series to encourage others to incorporate more strewing into the day.
The Strew To Learn In Your Homeschool Series
I hope this series inspires you to enjoy your kids and their learning more and more. You have amazing kiddos with great ideas, and those kids know what they love when they find it. When we act as facilitators of learning, rather than impart-ers of knowledge, we give our kids ownership of their own learning, and we make it more fun for them. And, truthfully, more fun for us as well.
