These last few days have been such a fun reminder of why we love homeschooling! 🌿
We went to our 3rd year of Fowler Park Pioneer Days, and August and I are both LOVING how perfectly it’s lining up with what we’re studying right now; the 13 Colonies and the Revolutionary War. Getting to experience pieces of history firsthand makes what we’re learning at home feel so much more real!
Then today, our homeschool co-op had another hands-on history adventure at Buck Creek Muzzleloaders Gun Club, where 33 kids came together to learn about primitive living and experience some of the skills and ways of life from the past. 🏕️🔥
A HUGE thank you to all of our volunteers who gave their time, shared their knowledge, helped with 33 kiddos, and made today possible. ❤️
I love that our homeschool journey can look like this—books and lessons at home, followed by real-life experiences that bring those lessons to life.
Deep roots. Wide branches. A true village. 🌱
