Homeschooling on the Road


Hi! We are in the lower 48 visiting family for a month and it has been a busy time. The trip from Alaska to Florida is long, especially when traveling alone with two young kids. At least they can walk now and I don't have to push a double stroller through the airport or try to change a diaper in the airplane bathroom while keeping an eye on a 2 yr old who was into everything. On second thought, the trip down south was easy!!

On the homeschooling front, we have been able to do math  by the lake, science at the beach and reading everywhere in between.  My kids were examining  starfish and hermit crabs on the beach while  it was 15 degrees at home. Ahh, I will miss the warmth when we go back. We have also managed some spelling and handwriting lessons, but most of their education (for the moment) is in the form of interaction with family. The kids have been able to spend time with their great grandparents who are over 90 and still live in their own home. Their great grandfather recently had a heart valve replaced and we were there to bring him home from the rehabilitation center. This would not have been possible if the kids were in public school. 

I LOVE the curriculum we have been using and have a lot to review when we return home! First up will be All About Spelling. Until next time, Happy Schooling everyone.
