How would you extract sodium?

Sodium is not generally "extracted from its ore" to be recovered and used. Most of the sodium we consume is used in the form of sodium compounds, like table salt (NaCl, or sodium chloride). Recovering the pure metal takes some doing as it is highly reactive. Sodium metal reacts with the moisture in air, and must be stored below something like kerosene to keep it isolated and in its elemental form. To extract sodium metal, we generally use electrolysis on molten salt (sodium chloride) in what is called a Downs cell. The metal is recovered, cooled and "packaged" to keep it from reacting with anything prior to use. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.
