Maine State Museum and State House Trip

We had a fantastic trip to Augusta on Friday. The children participated in a workshop on logging in Maine and toured the museum. Our wonderful chaperones helped students engage with the exhibits.

Even lunch in the atrium was exciting since there was a model train exhibit happening. It felt very festive!

Our extra special surprise was that our state senator, Cathy Breen, met us at the State House. The children got to see Governor Baxter's office and hear the stories about his dogs. They also had a turn to bang the gavel in the senate chambers.

Soon the children will be researching a Maine-related topic. It will be interesting to see what seeds were planted on this trip.

Thanks again to the moms of Abbie, Chloe, and Winslow, and Cate's dad for their guidance and help! More photos are coming soon!

Portland Symphony Orchestra Trip

Ask your child about our trip to the PSO to hear

(and see) Alice in Wonderland. We are grateful

to Mrs. Troy for organizing the trip and to the

Yarmouth Music Boosters for providing the

tickets.

Portland Museum of Art

Ask your child about our excellent trip to the Art Museum today. Thank you to Mollie's and Quinn's moms and Maddie's and Oliver's dads for chaperoning. The children received a free pass to return to the museum, so I hope you get to visit soon.

Weatherbeaten

    We had a great trip to the Portland Museum of Art this morning. Ask your child about the special exhibit on Winslow Homer.  Can your child remember the name of this painting?  As out docent pointed out, we may see this type of sea as Hurricane Sandy approaches.  I hope you will take advantage of the museum pass that your child brought home today.  If you're already a member, it's a great gift for another child. Thanks very much to Evan's and Kathryn's moms for helping out on the visit. 

Maine Maritime Museum

We had a wonderful time learning about Maine's shipbuilding history (and the recess breaks on the pirate ship were great, too).

Trip to the Maine Historical Society

Ask your child about today's trip. The students will also be writing a blog entry about their experience. Thanks to Meeghan, Kyo, and Lisa for helping out on the trip!
