The best thing about homeschooling.....being able to go where we want when we want. We have a camper at a permanent campsite, and there is nothing better than loading the kids in the car books and all and spending a week relaxing. The kids can do their bookwork on the deck, and when they are finished they get their fill of outdoor time aka free sensory therapy. There is a playground where they can spin, swing, run, and jump as much as they darn well please. We also have a water table and rock pit for extra sensory input. They can also go hiking or biking as much as they want, and on the weekends there is built in social time with all the campground kids. I have to say my kids sleep the best after a long day in the great outdoors.
Really what better classroom is there? We don't really have a homeschool room, because our house is barely big enough for the six of us, but we have outside. The kids get to explore with plants, see animals up close, and just interact with the wonderful world God created. In the spring, we had the chance to watch some robins hatch and grow. My youngest was highly amused by the bunnies that hopped away every time he tried to get near. We couldn't ask for a better classroom to learn and grow in.
