    There's no single "right" way to run Mixtape 360. Here are a few recipes families use, so you can find the shape that matches your household.

    Full homeschool

    Mixtape is the spine of the week. map to units, and the Portfolio & Record tab replaces the binder of loose papers.

    After-school supplement

    Three a week, one lane at a time, with the huddle happening on Sundays.

    Summer mode

    Light, streak-driven use across two lanes, building toward one big album finale at the end of the summer.

    Pod or co-op

    Families share sprint themes and run huddles in a group setting.

    The re-engagement play

    For a kid who's checked out of school, start with one mission a week in their favorite lane. Let streaks and the do the pulling instead of pressure.

    1. 1Pick the recipe that sounds closest to your week
    2. 2Set your kid's age band and load a starter sprint
    3. 3Put one huddle on the calendar
    4. 4Adjust after the first week — nothing here is permanent
