• Jan. 30, 2006 - Calling all homeschoolers - your help please!


Would you all be so kind as to tell me what are the best places in your city/town/state (a.k.a. neck of the woods) to take field trips with your homeschoolers?  I don't need a ton of details, although I do enjoy them.  Simply names and cities would be wonderful if you all would be willing to help me out.  Thank you!

ie: parks, museums, farms, forests, lakes, preserves, camping, nature hikes, National monuments, local deli, botanical gardens, zoos, observatories, libraries, historic landmarks, reptile house, factory, cheese-making plant, anything that is a can't-miss in your area...

• Apr. 27, 2006 - In Utah

Posted by My4LittleWomen
In Utah, you should see:

Zion National Park
Bryce National Park
Arches (NP? I think....or else a state park)
Capitol Reef (again, NP or State P.)
Kodachrome Basin (state park)
Goblin Valley State Park

Mirror Lake highway, between SLC and Evanston (the back way) is really neat, high mountains.

The This is the Place monument, just outside of SLC, is also very nice. It has an LDS flavor, but mostly it is a pioneer village, with different houses open and activities for all ages.

About Me

Having just embarked on the homeschooling adventure this year, I have quickly come to realize that I am nothing more than my weblog title implies: a student with unlimited chalkboard privileges. I love the learning process and am so blessed to be given the opportunity to serve my children through homeschooling.

What Do You Think?

I began homeschooling because:
the school system is overcrowded, underpaid, and therefore ineffective for my child.
God told me to.
my child did not want to go to school as a result of social issues.
my child has special needs and the school system did not have adequate programs in place to address them.
(Added my own comment under your post titled "Homeschooling: the right choice or simply exercising the right to choose?")
