Field Trip Ideas for Educational Places to LearnOne advantage of home schooling, is that class is not always at home.I've included some field trip ideas of places you can take your children, so they can learn using their hands, feet, eyes and other senses. Books aren't the only place to learn, are they? One day I brought my children to an arboretum (a place to learn about and see real trees). I told them this would be one of their classrooms. The next day, when I said it was time for school, my four year old, said "Mom, I thought you said this wasn't our class any more. The park is our classroom now isn't it?". Is it time for you to expand your classroom too?
