Springtime often pulls homeschoolers in what can feel like two different directions. The first is the concern of what needs to be done before the end of the school year. The second is wanting to play outside. Today we cover how to unite the two.We give ideas of how to incorporate formal education with being outside: Measuring the circumference of a tree, practicing spelling while tossing a lacrosse ball, figuring out change at the ice cream store, and more.But we also cover how spring is a rich time to develop wonder and observational skills in your kids, beyond just formal standards. Field trips, “look for a color” strolls, and even baseball games can help your child appreciate the world around them and develop lifelong passions.Resources:Check out the Brave Writer Bookshop Visit: 1000 Hours OutsideStart a free trial of CTCmath.com to try the math program that’s sure to grab and keep your child’s attention!Good news: There are enough weeks left to do a writing project with your kids that will leave you feeling confident and accomplished this school year.
