Communities and Leaders: Podcast #1
Here’s an audio lesson I had with my daughter about communities. It was loads of fun to record this. We talked about urban areas and cities, community involvement, and leadership within communities.
We were following the Houghton Mifflin social studies unit for 2nd grade.
In this episode I kind of used the “scaffolding” approach- asking NyGirl open-ended questions, and expecting thoughtful responses.
I’m hoping that with time she’ll be prepared for public speaking (she has plenty of time!), but it never hurts to begin introducing those types of skills now.
Enjoy!

My name is Demetria and I homeschool two little girls who, because they are growing up in a digital age, find themselves tinkering with electronics. I created this site out of my interest in exploring web 2.0 and techie gadgets for homeschoolers. 
This is great. I’m saving your ideas because I’m the homeschooling mom of a techie son. Thank you!
Just subscribed to your blog, Monica. You have some wonderful kids there!!
Absolutely adorable. I’ve really enjoyed listening to your precious girls. Thanks for sharing.
