June Field Trips For Your Homeschool Study

The ocean, lake, or pool is calling. Also, the farmers market can be a wonderful learning experience as well as a grocery run!

  • Visit your local farm stand for fresh fruits and veggies.
  • Visit your local botanical gardens to see the rose varieties on hand
