8 Must See, Splendidly Educational Native American Sites in the Southwest

We did a semi-unintentional Native American Unit Study this winter as we wandered around Arizona & Southern Colorado. This area is full of history, artifacts and culture and we enjoyed all of it! We hit the first one on our own after leaving Phoenix, then we had Sam’s dad join us for the two near…

  • This is a great list! We did 5&6 a couple of years ago and really enjoyed them! The ball pit was pretty awesome!ReplyCancel

Visiting John Day Fossil Beds in Eastern Oregon

Eastern Oregon definitely gets less press than its beautiful counterpart – the coastline. The geography is very different, and luckily for us, so was the weather. After Halloween in Lincoln City (2014) we knew we needed to get out of the rain or we’d go crazy. A rather intense couple of driving days took us through Salem…

  • […] Fairly soon on the hike, the trail dipped into a wash, and we followed the winding course of the wash for a mile or so. The rain the previous few days had washed the trail clean, safe for some wild-animal hoofprints and the footprints of one lone hiker. The trail was beautiful, and were were enjoying the solitude. An occasional trail sign assured us that we were on the right path. About a mile up the wash, the trail (marked with a sign) led up and to the right. The trail led up and out of the wash, and then wound through some clay hills that reminded me remarkably of the Painted Hills in Oregon. […]ReplyCancel

Road School Curriculum 2014

With the “start” of another school year I thought I’d update the far reaches of the universe with our current road school curriculum. After a harrowing,  first ever experience putting together a curriculum on my own last year I feel that this year has been pretty low key. We’ve moved ahead in most of their…

  • I love looking at other people’s curriculum 🙂 Where do you get your test that you used? Our math does a lot of tests but my husband wants the boys to be able to do standard tests so they do not freak out if they go to collage. I have a lot of trouble finding out where to get them though!ReplyCancel

  • Okay, and also thanks for Story Starters! I just checked it out and it looks great!ReplyCancel

    You are very organized! I have not found it easy to be organized with our road schooling. We have not purchased a curriculum though each girl has a grade appropriate multi-subject workbook. We end up doing a lot of online learning games mixed with library time, and of course field trips! I need to probably add a bit more structure though.ReplyCancel

Our Homeschool (Roadschool) Lightbulb Moment

Now that we are officially on the road full time, I thought an update about our current homeschool activities was appropriate. If you recall, our beginning was a little rocky, but I feel like the kids have now gotten into a routine. Some days Andrew will wake up and be done with his workbooks before…
