teacher-Gleamer
Each week we will venture out into our world to places that the students are interested in exploring. The field trips will be integrated with other activities (such as reading, playing games, crafts, imaginative play, etc) that will allow the student to go deeper into the subject.
Specific information about each field trip will be emailed out and posted on the home page late on the Sunday evening before each field trip.
**Only families preregistered may attend with Raw Learning.
**Only families preregistered may attend with Raw Learning.
Preregistered homeschoolers are always welcome to join us.
During the week we will also go on Spontaneous Field Trips walking, driving or by taking rides on the Staunton Trolley to get to places that the students would like to go to like a park or the library.
