Niagara Falls: Lessons & Activities

November 24, 2017 By Dani Wagner 6 Comments

Why Hello There! After a fun little getaway to Niagara Falls last week I just had to share this. You know you are a teacher/ homeschool mom when you plan a week’s worth of lessons as you are walking around, exploring a new place on vacation. Unfortunately the girls aren’t quite old enough for these lessons, but I truly can’t wait until they are!

    Niagara Falls is one of those places I’d love to visit someday. I know what you mean about planning lessons on the fly — we’ve done that with most of the Southwestern United States!
