Home School suggestions?

[NiniMorris]

We are leaving in 11 and a half months to our next Disney vacation... yes, that is Jan 2010. We homeschool and are planning on using the time at Disney as school time, not vacation time as we have in the past.

In getting ready for the trip, I am planning on having my 4th grader work on some sort of a pre-trip book with info on each country we will visit at Epcot, and continents we will visit at Animal Kingdom.

Any ideas or suggestions?

My dd did a lot of stuff at Epcot. She talked to a represantive from each country in Epcot. Learned a few new words in each language too! She had certain questions she came up with to ask in each country. She kept a journal as we traveled to each land. We also took a pic of her in each country for her to add to each countries entry. She loves Epcot!


Living with the land ride is very educational too. She and I discussed a lot about hydroponics and she did some research on it when we got home. They have a tour with living with the land.

The Seas at Epcot has a lot of educational stations. She did the Aqua seas tour where she got to swim in the tank. Although the swimming is what she paid for, the whole tour was great. She learned alot about the aquariam there and the guides were awesome!

In Ak the conservation station has a lot to learn. She loved the building over there and got to observe some surgery. Go over to AKL too as they have some great experts over by the animals! When we got home she had a book filled with info about many different animals.

We find Disney very educational, and even though we don't do much school while we are there, both our daughters find educational opportunites often!
