Roadschooling – East to West: The Canyons

Northern Arizona is so cool. There are so many things to see and do. If you have AT&T as your cell service, however, don’t expect to be able to talk to anyone about it. Few places offer functional wifi either. So, it’s been several days since I could update here. We left New Mexico andContinue reading “Roadschooling – East to West: The Canyons”

Roadschooling – P.E. at White Sands National Monument

We woke up this morning earlier than we thought we would. Our campsite was very close to the main road, and close to the entrance/exit of the park. So, at about 5:50 we were all wide awake.

So,Continue reading “Roadschooling – First several days”

We are moving from the East Coast to the West Coast. And we’re taking three weeks to makeContinue reading “Roadschooling East to West Coast”

Impromptu field trip – Boone’s Cave Park

We woke up one Monday morning and went through our regular morning routine. As we sat down to do school I opened up our history binder to quickly glance over what we’d be learning about throughout the week. (If it were the beginning of the school year I would have already prepped and read throughContinue reading “Impromptu field trip – Boone’s Cave Park”
