Impromptu.

A recent layout about a great day last week:

Journaling reads:

Impromptu field trip days are one of my favorite parts of homeschooling. Today was no exception. After doing a wee bit of math workbooks at home, the boys and I decided to head down to Boulder to watch a laser show at the Fiske Planetarium. It wasn’t exactly what we were expecting but the boys still loved it. After the show, we played with some of the exhibits there (nothing that the boys didn’t already know really) then geeked out at the Apple Store, got some frozen yogurt at Spooners, played with a giant rolling globe, drove to Centerra’s Barnes & Noble and then finally headed home. Along the way, we covered SCIENCE (at the planetarium obviously, through Apple technology, and in spinning the giant globe and talking about inertia and friction)…HISTORY (the laser show was an hour about the history of flight)…GEOGRAPHY (I made the boys identify what continents and countries they were spinning when playing with the globe)…MATH (always plenty of math in the day, like figuring out how much to pay the parking meter and working out percentages (sale prices) at the book store)…READING (the boys read a number of books at the book store, not to mention the signage at the planetarium exhibits)…PE (walking around Boulder after the planetarium and pushing the giant globe around)…and even ART (if you count creating numerous frames in Photobooth while at the Apple Store *laugh*). So thankful for the flexibility of homeschooling together! 

Also, it just so happens that one of my other layouts is featured on the Ormolu blog today, too, so check it out, okay? :)
