These days homeschool isn't as flexible as it once was given our daily responsibilities at various schools for various classes and groups. So we are excited when there is no public school and we can take some field trip days.
This week started with a really cool presentation by Mr. Drew and his animals at the Western Maine Play Museum. I didn't get many pictures because there were so many people that I just listened from the hall, but the kids learned about lots of different animals they usually only get to see/learn about on Wild Krats.
On Gabe's day off this week we headed for the coast. We have been trying to make time for a trip to the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath for years. This year during the months of January and February admission is free to the museum, so we took advantage! The kids learned so much and were able to have some hands on experience to what they already knew. We will definitely be coming back in the summer.
Since we were already so close and had our winter gear, we continued on down the road to Popham Beach State Park. It just happened to be low tide so we spent the rest of our day exploring the ocean floor and the land bridge that gives access to the island. We had bags to pick up garbage, but there was none which I found pretty crazy. Instead we spent some quiet time with nature on the island and the kids used their 4 senses (we left out taste) to make some observations/poetry about their surroundings. It was an awesome time at the beach (in February)!
