This week we asked our panel here at Growing Your Homeschool,
" What are some spontaneous or impromptu ways you have incorporated homeschool in your daily life?"
Marla- I have Abigail look for the correct terminal (letters A-D) when we pick up Daddy from the airport.
Ralene- Grocery store: comparing prices and talking about nutrition; Cooking/Baking: life skills, fractions.
Dorie- We have had a few impromptu history lessons at the flea market - explaining what this or that is and how people used it. (Specifically it was a free standing radio cabinet complete with LP record player and milk bottles in carriers.)
Jessica- Homeschool accidentally happens often when we are working on our farm. One of the children will show extra interest in something my husband is doing, and he really enjoys explaining it and showing them how it works. The next thing you know, a section of your vegetable garden is hand-sown to wheat (true story!).
Aurie- While traveling we have worked on number recognition {exits, room numbers, etc} and finding letters on road signs. We also counted quite a bit while at the theme parks.
What are some "teachable moments" you have encountered in your daily homeschool life?
