Planning DL Trip- Homeschool Project
| Sun, 07-16-2006 - 11:33pm |
My aunt and I discussed today that when the kids start up "school" in September their curriculum is going to be based on planning our Halloween Disneyland Trip.

I have a bunch of school-related Disney WORLD stuff that I'm sure you can find some of it to convert. It's all in Word files. If you don't have that, I can change it to something else (I may have Word Perfect and I have the free stuff, too). It goes from planning, to during the trip, to after the trip. Just e-mail me if you want it... alygator22@go.com

I know your trip is paid for but you could have the kids start with the DL website or print material and price out the room, tickets, tax, airfare, etc . Make sure they pay attention to the fact you're going during '4th night free'. Add in the cost of the Halloween Treat and set a budget for food & suvion'ears'. Call it math. :-) Ask Alysha for some of her Disney math bellringers for interesting stuff too.
They can also work on looking at past weather forcasts for SoCal during your trip time and look at how weather is predicted, barometric pressure, air pressure, temps, clouds,el nino/a
Thanks Sonya you had some great ideas I hadn't thought of, like the weather charts, and the marketing.
"it's the letting go of the planning process that is difficult.
Hey Chel,
Have you e-mailed me yet? Just wondering beceause I haven't received one from you, though I did receive an e-mail from another board member about it. I don't want you to think I'm not replying if it's lost in cyberspace.
