Our homeschooling journey is off and cruising right along. We've, of course, hit some potholes along the way and some detours, oneway streets, you get the picture, but all in all I am ever so greatful God has given me this desire and He has allowed it to come to fruition.
We went on our first 'homeschool group field trip' last week. We went to our state capitol and to the state museum. It was quite the adventure, but you can't beat real life as a means to teach with and learn from. The girls loved all the over the top exquisite decorations, they did not fully comprehend the historical significance, but they had fun and isn't that what learning is all about. They loved meeting new 'friends' and watching the planitarium show together. The state museum also provided a curiosity center for younger children, which my girls ages 5, 4, and 2 had so much fun. The hands on approach was great. They built trucks, picked carrots and cabbage, drove a truck, played in a life size doll house, and so much more.
I have so many pictures to post. I hope to find the time soon to do this. We are going on another fieldtrip tomorrow to a pretzel factory, where they will get to make a pretzel and to a chocolate factory, where we will get some samples--mmmm!
