Field Trip Giveaway! Enhancing the Learning Experience of Children

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Lunchables. All opinions are 100% mine.

Homeschoolers can make any day a field trip day, and we often do, you know the old saying... "the world is our classroom"... but recent statistics show the number of brick and mortar schools eliminating field trips is up 56%. In our own district, we're facing a 14 million dollar budget cut for the upcoming school year.... can you guess what school activity will be first to go? Although we've not officially been told what exactly will be cut, I can't imagine they'll continue to offer field trips... not unless the PTO is financially able to cover the expense that is. I can smell those fund raisers brewing already.


If you're reading this blog as a homeschooler or as a parent considering homeschooling you know the benefits of learning hands on... the learning a child does outside the classroom is generally richer and more exciting than anything done in a classroom setting...  and I mean any classroom.

Lunchables Lunch Combination is offering deserving students (and they're all deserving!) an opportunity to travel with their classmates on exciting field trips through a new initiative called Project Potential with the goal of enriching the learning experiences of American children. 


Field Trips For All is easy to enter... any student age 6 or older can nominate his or her school by visiting the Lunchables website. It's a great way to show support to the school in your own district... even if your children aren't attending. Homeschoolers have many advantages not found in the traditional brick and mortar classroom. We get to take our kids out and about any day of the week and cater to their learning and interests in a very real and special way.

A total of 50 classrooms will be selected to attend a REAL life learning experience outside their own classrooms! What a great gift and surprise this will be for students who might otherwise not have the privilege or opportunity to visit a science museum, a zoo, or a historical site.

Here's a fun video introducing a group of children to this exciting program:


My children are nominating their own classes at the school they attend down the street... yes, we're no longer homeschooling. If you'd like to know why, check out the "About Me" section of this site to learn about our current situation. It just isn't the right season for us, but we'll likely start up again in a couple years when our oldest enters middle school.
