This week's episode is in response to a question I got from a listener regarding how we make a Charlotte Mason style exam week work for our kids, even if they don't typically "test well." Our family is in the middle of Term 2 exam week, so it's a perfect time to answer!

If you aren't familiar with Charlotte Mason's method for examination, I start the episode discussing exams.  I also talk about what Charlotte Mason's exam questions look like for our family and how they are different from the typical tests we all grew up taking in school. And finally I share how I modify questions or my exam giving methods based on what makes sense to accommodate my kids' different learning disabilities such as memory issues and dyslexia so that I can have a true idea of what my kids do know.

If you have been considering Charlotte Mason's methods, but exam week seems like more than your child can handle, I hope you'll take a listen!

The Flamingo Feathers podcast is back from a hiatus. As I discuss in the opening of today's podcast, Flamingo Feathers is switching gears just a bit to focus more on Charlotte Mason and how her methods can be implemented for kids who learn differently. (Probably not much of a surprise for regular listeners!)

Also, please note that we are currently working on migrating our website over to a new host, so things are a little glitchy right now. We'll resume regular podcast show notes once that is finished.

Today's guest is Dr. Kelly Frindell from In House Test Prep.  She has been teaching students how to smartly take the ACT or SAT. Kelly also has quite a bit of experience in helping students who desire to go to college but have test taking challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, and anxiety learn how to take the tests well and improve their scores so they can go to college. Be sure to check out her website for more information!

Welcome back to the Flamingo Feathers Podcast!! If you are homeschooling a child with learning disabilities or special needs, you are in the right spot! It's great to be back with a new season for you. We're kicking off this season with my top tips to help new and seasoned homeschool moms alike start the school year off with success (and not throw the whole family into a tailspin)!

If your homeschool is anything like mine, those first few weeks of homeschooling can be a little rocky as everyone gets used to their new books and rhythms of the day. (Throw in some kids who don't like a lot of change, and it can be disastrous if you aren't careful!)  So these tips will help you navigate the first days back to school and set your family on solid footing.
