Earth Science Day and Lynne Plourde

Although we are homeschooling this year, we are staying actively involved in the school system and get to take advantage of some fun activities they have.  Recently, the Cushing School invited Maine children's author, Lynne Plourde, to visit the school.  She did an awesome evening presentation getting all of the kids involved in acting out one of her books.  Noah got to be the main character and did a fantastic job of remembering lines and really acting the part.  James and Ben also were picked to participate as fish and did a great job making fishy faces with dramatic flair;)

Also this week, the Maine State Museum hosted an earth science day.  Another free admission day at the museum, this time with many experts in all things related to the earth.  The favorite exhibit was about solar energy since we are currently having that installed on our roof.  The second favorite were the miners who brought many free samples of rocks with them.
