Homeschooling Through Family Adventures

Controversial…. but the best way to homeschool? 🚙🥾🌳 Get away from the desk! Let’s reframe learning and on a family adventure. (And quit being such a rule-following homeschool mom. I see you!) 🏛️Look for local history. Every place, big or small, has an important story to tell that you’ve never heard. Even the tiniest city museums are often great places to learn. 👉History learning doesn’t just happen at the biggest and “best” places. 🗽Look for the unique. What is something that you can’t do at home. Museum? Unique landform to explore? National cemetery? Music venue? Landmark? Goofy roadside attraction? 👉 @TripAdvisor is great for helping find these! 🌳Look for nature activities outdoors. Kid adventures can be as simple as a short hike. And these are often cheap or free. Show up; take the trail. Talk and just enjoy the place. 👉You don’t even have to use an app and identify plants for it to “count”. 🥏Look for sport opportunities. PE totally counts as learning; PE is required after all. Sometimes it’s not more than a nature walk, scooter trail, disc golf course, or pickle ball court. Bonus life points getting out in the water. 👉Not to mention. The kids need to burn some energy, and you need some vitamin D. 🤯 Look for growth opportunities. Even if you don’t find anything “memorable”, you grow. The kids practiced a skill in the car or asked questions or helped someone without being asked or did something that made them nervous. 👉Travel is my favorite way to grow! Just wait for it to happen. ❤️ Look at the family bonding. Not everything needs to be a skill or fact learned. Let them play and grow together and just enjoy being a family. 👉Mom and dad. Stop getting in the way. 😉😉Share this with your uptight friend who need to schedule some learning fun! ❓Or maybe it’s just you who needs the reminder. . . . . .
