Since visiting the local library is one of our favorite activities, we will be participating in the "Take Your Child to the Library" event on Saturday, February 4, 2012. http://takeyourchildtothelibrary.blogspot.com/p/events.html
Our library is invaluable as a resource for our homeschooling program. http://www.belfast.lib.me.us/ The summer reading program was a lot of fun. We began participating in the Mothers and Daughters reading group, yet the content of the reading list was not what we were looking for.
We are not sure what events may be planned for the event, yet we will be visiting before the dance class at the Belfast Dance Studio. http://www.belfastdancestudio.com/
I know, a lot of links in this post. I just wanted to include the wonderful events!!!

Learning Jazz and Tap Dancing
Dance class on Saturday was a lot of fun. The class was a blend of introductory ballet, followed by jazz and tap steps. The girls did a wonderful job. Prior to class, we went to the library to get some books about dance. Our study of dance will incorporate fiction, nonfiction and "hands-on" learning. One book we will be reading is:
A fiction book that we will be enjoying is: 
. Through reading and experience, we will be learning all about dance.

Yes, we're still here....
I know that we haven't posted since October of 2011, but my New Year's resolution is to be much better about it. School started yesterday. It was much better than I feared. Topics for the month of January are Geometry, US History, and Magnets and Electricity.
The major project for the end of January will connect Geometry and Magnets. Using a compass, mapping skills, and measuring to follow a trial and map the features along the way. I'm still working on the actual wording of the assessment. With the lack of snow, following a trail will be easy. However, I'm not sure what the end of January will be like. We are covered though- we can get out the snow shoes if necessary.
The Library group didn't work out. The content of the reading material did not reflect our choices. We still frequent the library, choosing materials which are more appropriate.
Dance class begins on Saturday. We will be reading about Jazz and Tap dancing. This will further our understanding of the dance class.
Well, back to planning...
