We are excited to announce our Jack O' Lantern Walk at Through the Trees on Halloween night! Walk our wooded trails, lined with Jack O' lanterns and some trick-or-treating along the way. Continue along the Jack O' lantern trail or choose our spooky path (if you dare!). 

Walk start times are in 45-minute increments, beginning at 5:00pm. Each time slot is limited to nine families. Similar to drop off and pick up for our homeschool nature immersion program, we will ask families to wait by their vehicles until a TTT staff member invites your group to begin the walk. This will allow spacing between each family/group on the trail. The cost for this walk is $25 per vehicle.

Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today!

“How do I know what I need to meet state requirements for my child’s learning?”

“How do I keep track of my child’s work and progress throughout the year?”

“What I can I do to stay organized without feeling overwhelmed?”

If these are questions you have been asking yourself as a homeschool parent, then this Homeschool Learning session might be for you! Sign up for one class or join us for all three:

• Self-Directed Learning: Thursday, August 13th 7:30-8:30pm

• Project-Based Learning: Monday, August 17th 7:30-8:30pm

• Portfolio Building: Wednesday, August 19th 7:30-8:30pm

Portfolio Building

Join us on Zoom for an online information session with Through the Trees Guides and homeschooling moms as well as a Certified Teacher, as we discuss how to build your child’s homeschooling portfolio to meet current state requirements. Hear from a Certified Teacher to learn how she conducts homeschool reviews and what you can do during the year to have a successful review. TTT homeschool parents will also share their own systems for tracking their children’s progress. Leave this session feeling confident in organizing your child’s work and progress throughout the year and meeting state homeschool requirements.

Cost: $20 Single Session, $50 all 3 Sessions

You will receive an email with the Zoom link the evening of the session.

“I’m not a teacher. How can I teach my child everything he needs to know?”

“I feel like I’m going to miss things and my child will be behind.”

“How do I cover all of the subjects and how do I know exactly what to teach?”

If these sound like some of your concerns as a homeschool parent, then this class on project-based learning might be for you! Join us for this session or register for all three:

• Self-Directed Learning: Thursday, August 13th 7:30-8:30pm

• Portfolio Building: Wednesday, August 19th 7:30-8:30pm

Project-Based Learning

Join us on Zoom for an online information session with Through the Trees Guides and homeschooling moms as we discuss project-based learning as a dynamic student-centered academic approach that can make the learning process easier and more valuable for parents and your child/teen. Focusing on projects that pull in various subjects, engages the student and results in a deeper knowledge and a love for learning. Learn how this style, which is often embraced by homeschooling families as well as many schools, can be beneficial to your child or teen and how you can successfully implement it, or pull pieces into your routine as you navigate life as homeschoolers. Whether you choose to follow this learning philosophy or not, our hope is that it will ease common parent concerns of needing to teach their children everything and worrying that their children aren’t learning what they “should.”

Self-Directed Learning

Join us on Zoom for an online information session with Through the Trees Guides and homeschooling moms as we discuss self-directed learning as a homeschooling approach that many homeschooling families successfully follow. Self-directed Learning is based on the idea that we are naturally curious about the world around us, and by allowing your child or teen to explore their interests, you encourage them to be life-long learners and take responsibility for their education.

Learn how this style can be beneficial to your child or teen and how you can successfully embrace it, or pull pieces into your routine as you navigate life as homeschoolers. Whether you choose to follow this learning philosophy or not, our hope is that it will ease common parent concerns of needing to teach their children everything and worrying that their children aren’t learning what they “should.”
