Turning a Field Trip into a Reading Lesson | Living the Lesson: Sugarcane Then & Now

Many homeschool parents feel pressured to make learning look “official.”
But education doesn’t have to fit inside a textbook.

This week, we took a trip to a Louisiana sugarcane plantation and turned it into a real world reading lesson — comparing how sugar was made in the 1800s vs. how it’s milled today.

No worksheets. No scripted lessons.
Just curiosity, connection, and understanding that lasts.

This is how we Live the Lesson. 🌾
