Field trips

One of the great things about homeschooling is all the field trips we get to take.

We get to see and hear professional musician's, storytellers and dancers at the Walt Disney Concert Hall as well as make crafts with professional artists.

We learned about endangered exotic animals and abandoned exotic pets at the STAR EcoStation - getting to see the effected animals up close and personal and hear their stories.

We've hiked in the wilderness of the Malibu Canyons and caught a frog and bugs and were allowed to stray off the path and follow our children's interests and lead.

We learned so much about maritime history from a wonderful docent who when we visited a Maritime Museum and pier. We got to see things first handand learned from an expert in the subject.

Yesterday at the aquarium Z got to touch so many marine creatures and again, because our group was small everyone had time to get their questions answered and talk to the volunteers.

We have the opportunity to go on so many field trips and when we are there we can take our time and let Z experience everything and talk to the people there who have so much information to share. I think this is a wonderful way to learn and to keep the child's interest in learning. :)

We have many more fun field trip planned that I hope to be able to share.
