We are a homeschooling family with two "students," our philosophy is learning through experience. As a geologist by profession, spending time outdoors and surrounded by the environment is second nature to me, and I hope to teach my girls everything I can about the world around us.
It has always been a dream of mine to travel the Lewis and
Clark Trail. This past summer, we had a free day on our vacation in
Nehalem Bay, Oregon and decided to visit Ft. Clatsop and the Lewis and Clark
National Historic Park. Once there, I knew that we would have to visit
the whole trail and come back to this beautiful location. I even picked
up some lesson planning guides at the visitor center. I began working out
the details in my mind.
With the freedom that comes with homeschooling, I am very excited to pursue the opportunity to travel with the girls and learn as much as we can while experiencing things first hand. The experiences of being in a place and really taking time to reflect and enjoy the area, goes so much further in our way of thinking and learning. There is no other place I’d rather be than teaching and learning with my girls!
