Z is for zoos… and then there are museums and parks and arboretums and many more educational destinations you’ll find outside your home.

Yes, you need to be home in order to homeschool. But you also need to include the outside world if your children are to be truly educated. Learning about the world around them is key; since kids love and thrive on experiential learning, taking them regularly to zoos and other fun and educational places is well worth your time and effort. (Let’s face it: it’s fun for us, too!)

I hope you’ve enjoyed “The ABCs of Homeschooling” this summer. See you in September!
