Well, for us, spring break will last longer than one week, for sure!! Also, we don't ever stop educating. So, it's not really time off of school. So how are we spending our spring break? We are getting out of the house and away from the books. The kids and I have decided to spend some time visiting local state parks and natural areas. The spring ephemerals are in bloom and can only be seen for the next few weeks. The neo-tropical birds are migrating south, so there are all kind of unusual birds in our area. How could we sit inside and let all of these learning opportunities pass us by? We are listening to books on tape in the car, journaling outside under a canopy of bright green spring trees. We are planning map routes and checking our mileage. We are studying the geography and history of the places we visit. We are taking LOTS of pictures!!! We are taking friends along with us whenever they can come! We are having a great time. I have a feeling when the weather is a little hotter, we will be more than happy to sit in our air conditioned house and hit the books. Eventually we would like to visit every state park in our state. We have a map on our school board and we are tracking all of the parks we have visited this far. So if you don't hear from us much right now, we are probably out looking at wildflowers. I hope you will take the time out, even just for a day, to do the same! I am going to try to come up with a way to share some of the hundreds of photos we are taking. The kids are becoming very good photographers!! I'd love to share our home state with all of you.
