Jodie started her career in education in the summers of her college years, working with kids in small groups. She graduated with a Bachelors in Elementary Education from Shepherd University.<\/p>\n<p>When her son turned three, they started forest school, and she shares that it was their first introduction to homeschool. She went on to eventually enroll him in public kindergarten, but during his first grade year, she felt that they needed a transition.<\/p>\n<p>After attending a workshop, Jodie\u2019s eyes were opened to so many educational possibilities &amp; ideas. She began homeschooling her son, and wanted to open up a place for other homeschool families to bring their children for enrichment activities. The idea of Wild and Wonderful Enrichment was born.<\/p>\n<p>Wild and Wonderful Enrichment offers small groups, hands-on learning, and exploration of nature for homeschool students. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents who want their kids to get additional enrichment classes in addition to what they are already receiving in their homeschool education.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this episode for more information on this educational opportunity!<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Episode Highlights:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intro to Jodie.<\/li>\n<li>Jodie\u2019s educational background.<\/li>\n<li>How Jodie was introduced to homeschool.<\/li>\n<li>The idea of an enrichment program.<\/li>\n<li>Wild &amp; Wonderful Enrichment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>More on Guest:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email Jodie:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:wildandwonderfulenrichment@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wildandwonderfulenrichment@gmail.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WildWonderfulEnrichment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find Wild &amp; Wonderful Enrichment on Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jwitmer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit Jodie\u2019s Website Here!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WILDWONDERFULENRICHMENT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check Out Wild &amp; Wonderful Enrichment\u2019s YouTube Channel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/WILD_WONDERFUL_ENRICHMENT_WV\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow Wild &amp; Wonderful Enrichment on Instagram<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Store\/Jodies-Resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jodie\u2019s TPT Store<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>More on Love Your School\/Links Mentioned in Episode:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loveyourschool.org\/we-have-hope-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit Our Show Notes Page HERE!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:Kim@loveyourschoolwv.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kim@loveyourschoolwv.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:Leah@loveyourschoolwv.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leah@loveyourschoolwv.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loveyourschool.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.loveyourschool.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/LoveYourSchoolWV\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit our Facebook HERE!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/loveyourschoolwv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit our Instagram HERE!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This show has been produced by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adkinsmedia.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adkins Media Co<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re excited to have Jodie Witmer, owner and founder of Wild &amp; Wonderful Enrichment with us on the show today.
