Those are all some excellent ideas! We are brand new to home schooling so that is something I have yet to think about. We will so have to plan a field trip!
Thanks :o)

I like field trips because it adds some excitement for my children and helps them see things in a whole new perspective. Sometimes we visit places again a few years later, because they will be at a different maturity level and get something new out of it. Sometimes little ones will get bored and we will play I Spy in a musium. In museums you can also do Scavanger Hunts as well.

There are some things we revisit, because they are still interested in learning more about it. Volcano's are one of those they just can't learn enough about. We take advantage of exploring new things while on vacation. Labrae Tar Pits was one and now the children are facinated with Ice Age mammals.
