As the weather settles into nicer days with ample sunshine and warmer temps, we encourage you to take some time to get outdoors. Do you know that whatever you do, you can find a learning opportunity? As adults, we get to explore new ways of experiencing education . . . we get to look through the lens of learning as we venture out beyond the walls of our school room or even our home. We encourage you to embrace the freedom that’s yours.
Connect with some friends or family while enjoying the beautiful weather. As we enter the last stretch of the school year, schedules may allow plentiful time to take a field trip or visit the local parks where learning opportunities abound. Here are a few ideas to consider:
Visit your local downtown area
Pack a picnic, and meet with another homeschool family at a park
Find a trail that you can walk or hike
Go out and find as many different types of flowering trees or wild flowers as
possible
Take a field trip to a nearby location, such as these excellent choices:
Science centers,
nature preserves
historic sites
museums
Set aside time to make something artistic. Invite friends to join you for added fun!
Have a coffee date, and ask each other good questions. Pinterest has great
conversation starter ideas.
Have a cookout with another friend at a park, or invite someone over to your home. Grills work for lunchtime as well!
While sitting in the sunshine, write a note to a family member or friend. You might even send a note to your teachers!
Share your adventures to our social media pages, and show everyone what your family and groups do to spend quality time together learning.
