There are SO MANY things going on in our huge city and it's hard to keep up with all of them.
Sometimes my head spins when I think of all the things that are happening ON THE SAME DAY.
And then, depending on the ages of your kids and how long you've lived here, you get to wait until your homeschooling pals or the pals of your kids decide what THEY are going to do. ('cuz, ya know, kids like to hang out with their friends whenever possible at different places, events, gatherings, etc.)
To make the most informed decisions for your family about what adventures you'd like to go on and experience each month, I'd suggest the following:
FIRST: Print some calendars
Print the monthly event calendar at both JoCo Homeschool Get Together (Kansas) and A Homeschool Adventure (Missouri). I love that they take the time to create these calendars so you can make plans in advance, and it's easy to print out and stick on a bulletin board or tape to the wall, or slide into your homeschool planner.
I have a kid who loves to ice skate, so I also print the Independence Community Ice in Independence, MO public skate calendar. I also print the KC Ice Center in Shawnee, KS calendar. They have a homeschool skate the first and third Friday of the monthly normally, and it's only $5, skates are included, and parents skate free! They also have public skate times.
Whatever your kids are interested in, find a calendar and print it! Or write dates on your own calendar. Or input things into your Google or other online/mobile calendar.
