If it's nice out, we either do school outside or head out to learn outdoors. Last week we were able to visit a giant park on the James River, have lunch at Sonic, then explore the walking trails at the Virginia Living Museum, where we have a membership. There are animals along the trail and we got see vultures being fed and learn what they eat. Then we got to see the traveling frog exhibit. The kids loved it and we even got to virtually disect a frog.
What happens when you don't have to wait in lines, wait for other kids to settle down, do busy work, or commute to school? There is time for additional subjects and plenty of field trips and hands-on learning. Evan actually asked to learn computer coding and Amelia joined him in taking some online courses. They have started building some little robots this week and will also be starting monthly art classes for homeschoolers at the library. We are having so much fun learning!
