You should know that field trips is one of my favorite parts of homeschooling.  The entire month of September was without field trips which in the beginning of our carless month made the girls a bit sad (and me too) since we actually had a few fun outings planned such as the tie dye and ice cream social.

On mornings when we are out and about early, we usually listen to The Wally Show on WAY-FM.  It is an faith based broadcast that offers practical advice from people who are willing and transparent about their own struggles in life.  The girls and I often learn new things by listening to their stories, and we often have a good laugh because the broadcasters can be hilarious. 

We tend to go on several field trips throughout the year, and what I have learned that the girls do not always remember things from each outing.  I know this is normal because I don't know anyone who remembers everything they learned in a visit to a place.  For this visit, I decided I would help them retain a bit of information by having them bring a Field Trip Reflection page which I created. Upon arriving at the Parthenon, I had them write down a few questions about what they wanted to learn on this field trip.  The main question was "What is the Parthenon?"

Did you know that there is a print shop that does not utilize any technology?  When I say no technology, I mean absolutely no technology.  They do not even allow potential customers to contact them via email. All work is done through verbal interaction.  All proofs are created by hand.
