The Importance of Outdoor Play- Podcast Episode
In this Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast "best of" episode from 2019, Aby Rinella was back for her second episode ever! Aby and Yvette Hampton, discuss how we were created to be in the garden, and the importance of getting our kids, and ourselves, OUTSIDE! There are SO many benefits to the great outdoors, including dirt, sun, exercise, and especially, pointing our kids to their Creator through His creation!
Aby's first episode on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast was "the Why of Homeschooling". Don't miss this episode if you haven't already heard it. It is excellent! She and Karen DeBeus also recorded a special 1-hour roundtable, "The Who, Why, and How of Homeschooling", which you can listen to here.
