Happy Tuesday, Reader!
One of you shared with me that we have SO many field trips coming up that the bottom half of my email gets chopped off!
If that's the case, be sure to click "VIEW ENTIRE MESSAGE" so that you can see ALL the field trips to the end!
I did want to share one change with you all for this month. Usually, I host the monthly Unschooling Q&A via Zoom on the LAST Wednesday of the month, but we will actually be doing this month's Q&A on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23rd at 8 PM EST because my family and I will be on a birthday cruise in Mexico the last week of the month.
Please adjust the change of date in your calendar.
REMEMBER: Some of our field trips have limited space available with RSVP dates several weeks in advance. Be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible so you don't miss out on the fun!
