Hello friends, welcome to the Move It Mama podcast. This started many years ago as a way to connect more with you outside of our workouts.

We've currently got a back to school promotion for anyone who wants to join the app. Use the code BACKTOSCHOOL at the checkout for 20% off our annual membership. Hi, Jess. Hey. Yay. I was so excited driving here today.
Jessica Mizzi 0:46
I know. On that note, the back to school, you've got to go via the web app, by the way. That's exciting. Don't go to the app store, go to the web app.
Lisa Fong 0:54
That just means a browser. And make sure you use capitals, back to school.
Jessica Mizzi 0:59
Capitals, back to school. B-A-C-K-T-O-S-C-H-O-O-L. Dorian's been trying to, one of Nina's spelling words was school, and there's something that he uses in Afrikaans. Skilikahilikaha. Oh my gosh. I was like, you think that will be helpful. It would mean that there's a V in school. I don't like the first bit. I was like, you realise it's a whole different language. It's not helpful in her learning how to spell the word school.
Lisa Fong 1:42
School is really hard and often children say S-K-O-O-L. Yeah, no doubt.

How do the hosts manage screen time for their children?

Lisa Fong 1:47
Once they learn the blend. But English language is very difficult. We were talking actually on the way home from the road trip yesterday about how I'd quite like the boys and us to do like a te reo, like cultural course over here or something to immerse them in sort of that culture because Carlos asked me the other day, how do you actually pronounce Māori? The word Māori? Yeah. And I'm like, oh, that's so cute. Like that almost, he probably wouldn't ask that if we're living in New Zealand, but you know, he's probably a bit, we've been away from home for three years from the New Zealand and the Māori culture. So I was thinking that would be quite cool to try and find somewhere along here. to take them to.
Lisa Fong 2:33
And then a point of that was Rico's like, mom, it's pretty hard to learn a language now. And I was like, no, it's not. Don't have that attitude.
Jessica Mizzi 2:41
I know, but the English language is so hard. This teaching. I mean, I get that they just like learn the different things and then it just clicks, but it is, it is hard. I don't know how you were a teacher. I don't know how to be. I don't know how teachers be teachers. I've got a couple of points.
Lisa Fong 2:58
First of all, I'm not going to try and talk the way Rico would talk because he doesn't sound like that. And when I listen back to the pod sometimes and I speak like one of the boys, I don't like it. Second of all, teaching, I was never a very good new entrant teacher. I think the new entrant teachers have the hardest job because they are teaching how to, like, obviously Nina is not new entrant. She's now seven nearly. Seven? Yeah. Nearly seven, yeah. And I think, her age is quite a good age to teach because they've kind of got the initial sounding sounds but five-year-olds so so tricky um to teach them that kind of stuff but a lot of the time it's repetition so you you'll bring home a reader and you'll think oh my gosh he knows how to read that but it's memory and it's and it yeah memory helps with the whole um learning what the word looks like and oh yeah i've seen that word before and then that kind of helps um
Lisa Fong 3:57
the, the sort of gateway into learning how to read and write, but very difficult job, a new entrant teacher, I believe.

What strategies do they use for preparing lunch boxes?

Lisa Fong 4:04
And I think I never actually taught new entrants. I taught from Nina's age and up.
Jessica Mizzi 4:09
Oh yeah. Well, they had like a base understanding type thing.
Lisa Fong 4:11
Yeah.
Jessica Mizzi 4:12
Yeah. Still hard. Yeah. Anyway, you missed out on a day yesterday of school kids because you were still traveling. Is it exciting to be on your own today? Yeah.
Lisa Fong 4:23
I was real gutted that I didn't think about that more so in my workout that I took this morning because I feel like I was a bit flat. But I think it's because I knew I had to get washing out because I have a window of about...
