I loved being out and about with my kids during our homeschooling years! Once the two oldest of my five had their own cars, it was just me and the younger three who did all the errands. We did most of our grocery shopping once a month. It meant I had to plan ahead and budget well, but it saved us so much money!

Have your kids ever asked “When will I actually use this?” when you introduced a new math formula or as they recorded data from a science experiment? It’s not a bad question if it’s meant sincerely — instead of as a complaint. (Sadly, I know I was guilty of saying it as a complaint at different points when I was being homeschooled!) The reality is we want our students to understand how their education is practical for their lives! Hands-on learning, unit studies, and field trips are all different ways to keep the practical and real-life elements alive in our teaching.
