Five For Friday - On Saturday
/It's Saturday. We know. We were just galavanting around San Francisco with our exchange student yesterday and didn't get our Five for Friday post to you this week. Forgive us?
Speaking of exchange students, you can hear why we are so passionate about hosting them on our Episode 8: Homeschooling With Exchange Students.
Our Five for Friday this week is a bit thematic, drawing from our most recent episode, Let's Talk Sex . . . Again:
4 Lies the Church Taught Me About Sex - by Lily Dunn
She grew up evangelical and she thinks the church could be doing a way better job talking about sex. Us, too.

What is Sex? - by Barrett Johnson

What resonates most with you?


Most of us have at least one subject we don't love to teach, and that's a tricky thing to reconcile when we're in charge of all the subjects.
So what's a homeschooler to do when there are core subjects that must be covered but mom or dad either aren't motivated to get that subject done every week or they feel unqualified to teach it? On this episode ofHomeschoolingIRL, we'll discuss what it looks like to teach writing when you don't feel confident with your own writing skills or how to teach the writing process.
Guest Kim Kautzer has been helping homeschoolers teach writing for several decades, and she gives some great tips for how to get started. If writing isn't your strength, this episode is for you!
