Hands-On Learning Through Field Trips
Don't just tell your children about the world, show them š„¾ā
ā
Every week we go on a field trip and explore as a part of our homeschooling. Hands on learning gives freedom and responsibility to learn through real experiences, rather than simply reading or listening to somebody else. ā
ā
One benefit of this type of learning it to nurture a love for the environment around us whether it's a city or national park, or learning about history at the actual place it happened. ā
ā
While a weekly field trip may not be feasible, a monthly trip exploring your local area would add so much to any school aged kid. ā
ā
Here are few field trip ideas that cost nothing:ā
ā¾ Local park to scout for plant life or animalsā
ā¾ Historic monuments, statues, and memorialsā
ā¾ Hikingā
ā¾ Zoos, Gardens, and Museums on free daysā
ā¾ State and National Parks on free daysā
ā
With the holidays coming up it would be a great idea to ask for memberships to a zoo, museum, or a national park and state park pass so you can enjoy them all year long. ā
ā
āWhat kind on memberships do you get every yearāā
