MAY 2012

The weather is starting to warm up so it is the perfect time to go outdoors and have a field trip!!!  As always we have several planned this month.  Can't wait to read where others are going.

If you would like to be a guest poster on this site please contact me.  Looking for any posts that give ideas on taking, recording and enjoying field trips.

April 2012

April showers bring May flowers, well that is the saying anyway. The weather in our area is all over the place. Beautiful one day and down right freezing the next. When we head out for our field trips we are often having to taken two jackets in the car, a light weight one and a more heavy duty one, as we never know what the weather with do. My family is currently on spring break and visiting family. I will be posting lots of fun field trips we took soon:)

Link up your family field trips for the month of April. I love to see where people of going and how it is incorporated into school.

March 2012

Spring is just around the corner:). For me, February always seems like the longest month even though it has the fewest days. So it is with great hope, that now that March is finally here, the weather will start to improve and the days will lengthen. Just last week my children and I went to a local garden with friends. We had the children do a scavenger hunt looking for signs of spring. Here is what we found:

February 2012

Looks like January was a slow month for Home school field trips:)! Not surprising as I found myself struggling to get back into a rhythm of schooling after the holidays. Our big week long trip to London was cancelled although we did make it in for the day to see a show to celebrate my daughter's 10th birthday. We had a fabulous time!

Are you and your children going any where exciting this month for a school field trip if so please share it here so others can read all about it. I know I have gotten lots of great ideas and tips for future field trips and I hope you will too:)!

January 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful festive Christmas and New Year!!! It is hard to believe another year has passed already. My children and I took 2 weeks off for the holiday and resumed back to light school on the December 28th but we return to our regular schooling Jan 3rd. We have several field trips planned already for the month of January. Early this month we are heading out to a 12th night celebration in a Viking long house with my husband's Regia re-enactment group. I must say the whole family is looking forward to it. There is also a planned week stay down town London while my husband is at a work conference. It is my daughter's birthday while we are there so we have tickets to a London show. Lots planned. While officially none of these field trips are school related, we will be learning tons and seeing lots of great things.

While catching up with my own blog reading over the holidays I found some great links about field trips and how to document them. I thought I would share them here with you:

ABC teach
Writing a Home school Field trip Report
Documenting a Field trip
50 fun field trip ideas
Recording field trips for transcripts
Notebooking pages for field trips

Lastly, Katie from Brighton's Park passed on a blog award to the Home School Field Trip hop!

December 2011

Tis the season of holiday cheer! Many of you will be so busy preparing for your festivities that it may seem going on a field trip is the last thing you want to add to your list of things to do. However, there are still so many field trips that can be done, if you think outside the box. Visiting nursing homes and singing Christmas carols, baking cookies for the local fire station, helping out at a local soup kitchen or working with the salvation army ringing the bell, so tell me what kinds of field trips are you taking this December with your children?

November 2011

My home blog Life's Adventures has been nominated for Best Field trip/Nature blog for the Home school blog awards.

So if you feel so inclined please support me by voting. Go to this link and click on the dot to the left of Life adventure's and then click "Vote" at the bottom of the screen to cast your vote. Voting ends midnight November 18thth!!! Thank you for your support


The Field Trip Hop has a new look and a new title! I have been working with my good bloggy friend Lynda from My Heart's Desire Creations to come up with a new look. I love the old world map look and as we have home schoolers posting their field trips from around the world I thought it was a good theme for the hop. If you are interested in having any work done for your blog I encourage you to contact Lynda and let her help you, she is amazing to work with:)!

If you are interested in being a guest blogger and have something to say about how you use field trips in your home school please contact me either thru the comments or by email. We had over 60 links up last month and I appreciate that so many of you are spreading the word about the hop by telling others about it and showing the Field Trip button. We have a new button to match the banner so be sure to update your blog with the new button as the old button will be deleted this month.
