Would you remember the Grand Canyon better if you went there and hiked the trails and read about the mules and saw them, or if a teacher talked to you about it? How about if you built a catapult and launched it at various targets (like the siblings!) while learning about medieval times? There are so many fun ways to incorporate hands on learning, which is a great way to make learning more meaningful. Homeschooling is not public school at home.
In this workshop I’ll share some of my favorite adventures and help spark the imagination just lurking in your mind! I'll even help you with a topic that your kids are intersted in. We'll see what we can come up with together!
This workshop will be via zoom and will be kept small and intimate so that I can give each participant some individualized ideas to incorporate hands on learning in their home or community!
