Daytona International Speedway


Today we went to Daytona International Speedway as our Friday field trip!! This was so exciting for the kids and me because I am a huge NASCAR fan.
When we arrived I think I was more excited than the kids were…lol. We were taken on a 90 minute tour. The tour included a behind the scenes look of what goes on at Daytona International Speedway on race day. We toured the drivers meeting room, NASCAR Print Cup Series Garages, Gatorade Victory Lane, and go inside of one of the suites in the grand stands which is 7 stories high. The suite had a gorgeous view.
This was a very good tour and I would highly recommend it to any NASCAR fan young or old.
We had a blast. I let each of the kids have a camera at point or another during the day. It was amazing looking through the pictures and seeing it through their eyes.

Learning about Election Day

Today is Election day!!!

I wanted to teach the kids what election day is and why we have it. So all day we did things that related to electing our President.

I found a video on YouTube called Electing a US President in Plain English which was very informative. It was also very kid friendly and it explained it on their level.

Then I found a map of the US and an Electoral Tracking sheet on Daze of Adventure's blog.









I gave each kid a red and blue color crayon and we turned on the news and colored in our states as they were announced.








Now as we all know not all the states report right away so I recorded the news and we went over the rest the next morning.

Honestly I learned a lot by doing this with the kids. It was a lot of fun.
