While in Dayton, Ohio, we decided to join cousin Cara for a day at Boonshoft Museum. This is the museum I have mentioned before where a family membership for $100 entitles you to reciprocal free entrance at Children's Museums, Zoos, Aquariums, and Science Centers across the country. This museum belongs to all three reciprocal programs. We were disappointed in the Big Bang section; and chose to stay on the other side of the museum. I was planning on getting a membership at this museum next summer when my other memberships expire; now I do not think I will be able to support their museum programs.
At any rate, we had a great deal of fun on the other side; and I thought I would share some of our pictures.
That looks like a great kids museum and a fun day.
We love our children's museum, but it doesn't have big bang anywhere. It's more technology and practical science.
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
