Whenever we go on a field trip or other educational activity, I try to make a page to summarize it for their portfolios. I also *try* to assign the kids some sort of follow up, but with our already full school schedule it doesn't always happen. Thus being the case for this trip. I worry, too, that field trips will turn into groans of "oh, no! Another field trip. This means we'll have to write a paper." So rather than have them do something on paper, I let them make more butter. Fun. And tasty. Though admittedly it is much easier to buy sticks of butter from the grocery store.
Anyway, we try to go to the homeschool events at the
Charleston Museum as much as possible. It is a wonderful museum and we've learned so much about local history.
Here's our portfolio page for October's homeschool day.
I should credit my brother and sister-in-law for gifting us last Christmas with a family Museum membership. I didn't know about this museum or its homeschool program but thanks to Doug and Barbara we have this wonderful membership which we have enjoyed all year long!
