5 Tips for Field Trips in your Homeschool

Tips for a great homeschool field trip

One of my favorite parts of Homeschooling has been the many field trips we get to go on.

Why you ask?

Monster Cake Pops! Halloween Spooky Treat

Make Monster Cake Pops with your kids!  

Make these cute quick treats with your kids for Halloween!  They're fast and easy and your kids will love how they turn out.

Instructions:

Making Habitat Dioramas

I wanted to share a project we're just finishing that we all enjoyed.  Animal Habitats!  But before we get to those, here's where the project stemmed from...

Ring Toss Game

Make an easy Ring Toss!

I thought I'd show you a quick and easy ring toss game to make for a fun fall activity!  I made this a few days ago and my kids have loved it!  (We'll be using it during homeschool as well for a reward from the goals they're working on)  Also great for a fall carnival, festival, Halloween party, birthday parties...you get the idea.  :)

Tracking Sight Word Proficiency

So here we are, a few weeks into our new year!  

Operation Homeschool Adventure has officially begun!  

I've been real busy (stressed) with getting our schedule set up so I haven't been on here much.  I thought I'd share in the next posts, a few ways I've been organizing some of our work.

I made these "Word Clubs" (up to 800 most frequently used words) to help track how well my girls are doing with their sight word proficiency.  The clubs (and a visit to our Treasure Tin after they've passed a group off) is a great motivator to keep them working towards reading fluency.

Baking Pie Pops with Kids

Apple Pie Pops

So I've been thinking a lot about Fall lately and thought I'd share the recipe for these cute Pie Pops.  I've seen them pop up all over Pinterest over the last few years and I have absolutely no idea where I got the  initial recipe from at this point.  I first made them two years ago for a school bake sale at our Fall Carnival.  They are EASY to make with kids and are adorable when finished.
