Social Studies Comes Alive Outside Your Front Door

A wonderful learning extension for the homeschool curriculum are local business visitations within your own community. Planning visitations to local community businesses is a wonderful way to familiarize your child with community business leaders, the sociology of your own community, career choices and an overall sense of how the city operates. Some businesses enjoy the opportunity to share their knowledge and business practices with youngsters. Some exciting destinations include local newspapers, print shops, bakeries, police stations, factories, fire stations, hospitals, and restaurants.
