We usually don't do many fieldtrips in the winter because skiing takes up so much of our time. I know that we have a month or two left of winter here in the great state of Maine.....but the Smiths are getting CABIN FEVER!!! So tonight I did a little bit of research to find a few upcoming events.
Oh,,,,,but first, par request, here is the used curriculum link. The nitty-gritty details are not yet available, but check back in a month or two....http://www.homeschoolbooks.org/events.htm
2/16-2/24 LL Bean Kids Winter fun week.
2/20-4/28 Maine State Museum-Cabinet of Curiosities. They are open every week day from 9:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday 10:00-4:00. Admission is $1-$2.
2/29 Old Fort Western-Augusta. There will be an educators workshop from 8:30-3:00pm. Teaching about 17th-18th century Maine Indians.
3/7-3/8 Maine Homeschoolers Convention http://www.homeschoolersofmaine.org/convention.htm
THIS Thursday! Tanglewood Marienettes will be presenting Cinderella. We saw this show last year at UMF and it is so awasome!!! It's at Gorham Middle School (close for you, Heather...little L will love it!) The show is at 10:15am. There will be a book signing by Kevin Hawkes (our former bishop in Cape Elizabeth) from 9:00-10:30. For advanced ticket sales call Mo Terry at 839-7133. This is a fabulous show! Hilarious and very entertaining.
One last thing....For those of you who are night owls...tomorrow night there will be an eclipse. Here are the details http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEmono/TLE2008Feb21/TLE2008Feb21.html
I hope everyone is having a good week.
I'll post events as I find them.

Ok, you soooo don't talk too much. This stuff is why I'm here, reading. You have got to be an expert web surfer 'cause I'd have never known any of this stuff. So, are you going to any of these? Want a tag-a-long? I hate to do anything alone.
Heather,
Nicki and I are probably going to the Tanglewood show. Do you want to meet us there?

Hmm...Thursday mornings are normally our Library morning (storytime, etc...). I will think about it, right now though Liliana is abit sick and is in bed (it is only 10am!). Will this be their only show this year?
Only one show in Maine. Here is their schedule:

You can fill out a paper at the museum as a teacher and get your entire "class" in for free. We did this last year when we went. Goodnemm, has it been that long already? This is why we need you, Kim!
