Show Notes
Texas homeschool families get their full $2,000 Education Freedom Account on July 1 — but a July 15 confirmation deadline (and the fine print) demands careful stewardship. Plus, a Charlotte Mason summer nature-study rhythm you can start in your own backyard today.
In this episode:
- Texas Education Freedom Accounts: homeschoolers receive 100% of their $2,000 award on July 1, 2026, with a hard July 15 deadline to confirm in the Odyssey portal — and why HSLDA urges families to read the terms before taking the funds.
- A Charlotte Mason summer nature-study rhythm: pick one habitat, keep a nature journal, and make invertebrates your focus this season.
- Your Homeschool Win Today: a ten-minute backyard nature-study lesson that costs nothing.
