What are you doing fresh for your home school this year?
We invested in a membership to our local science museum, the Tellus. We are all very excited about this. We have already gone twice and I have already lined up so many unit studies around what we will see and do at the museum. I know he will get so much more out of this then any traditional learning we could do. I definitely don't want to be stuck all year at the kitchen table on the computer or doing worksheets of all things!
Another great thing about getting a membership to a local museum or other educational source is they often have workshops for kids and special events. You can really make the place your secondary classroom. Usually the investment is not that much, especially if you use mostly free resources like we do for curriculum. This allows us to be able to make this investment, not to mention, that the one we joined is a non-profit so our membership is considered a donation and is tax deductible*. It is a win-win if you ask me!
Would love to hear from others about what your homeschooling is adding new this year? Comment below. Your input might help others homeschooling to get outside of the box.
*Of course, always consult with a qualified accountant.
