Hogle Zoo Day
Field Trip: HOGLE ZOO
On Wednesday, March 31st you can get into Hogle Zoo for FREE! :) Consider doing a unit this week on one of the animals you will see at the zoo! :) Then join us to share what you have learned. You can download a cute unit on Tigers for free here... http://www.currclick.com/product_info.php?products_id=35572&it=1&SRC=Newsletter
Coming Soon :
Utah's Hogle Zoo Nature's Nightmares coming May 15 to Hogle Zoo: See vultures, bats and bugs, and learn why these animals aren't so scary. Cool fact: King Vultures are among the bird world's largest scavengers and have powerful, hooked beaks that are excellently adapted for tearing open tough carcasses. They can often access meals that other vultures cannot, and smaller birds usually give way when they arrive to feed.

Free Audio Books! :)
Many of you may already know about this website but for those who don't it
is a real treasure. It lets you download in a variety of formats to work
with ipods or mp3 players. They've got some good children's classics. I don't
know about you but we use a lot of audio books in our house/car. It's a
great way to fit literature into our schedule.

Running Club
Message sent to a homeschooling group.....
The Pachev family would like to invite children ages 6 and up to our family running club. Sasha Pachev is an locally elite athlete having placed in the top 5 in the St. George Marathon, top 5 in the Top of Utah Marathon, won the Top of Utah Marathon and the LDR Utah racing circuit. He currently trains 5 of our 6 children and would like to offer his training advice to homeschooled children interested in learning the sport. We are going to be meeting starting next Tuesday March 23rd from 4-5 at the Riverside Park in Provo. The park is off of 1260 W at approximately 700 N. For directions please call Sarah at 788-4608 or for questions about the club. The club will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4.
Our family also runs a free running website with training logs and the ability to connect with other adults developing their running talent. We offer this as a service to the community because of our love of the sport and our desire to help others succeed. Go to fastrunningblog.com for more info.

National Parks and Monuments
One thing our family looks forward to every summer is going to National Parks and Monuments, and living in Utah, we are lucky to have so many close by.
Timpanogos Caves National Monument is literaly 10 minutes from our house. Starting in May, they offer great Ranger programs. Check out the website.
Another quick tip--ZION NATIONAL PARK is open to car traffic in the winter months. Come May though, they close the roads to traffic UNLESS you have a camping reservation OR a reservation at the Cabins or Lodge. Last year, we stayed at the cabin--talk about fun! AND because its a national park, the prices are affordable.
I have been told that homeschoolers can actually get a National Parks Pass for cheaper, although I haven't confirmed this.
Enjoy spring and less traffic by visiting our National Parks in the "off season". :)

Fantastic Art Website
I believe a good lesson plan ALWAYS includes an art project, GREAT book, game, and some type of writing lesson---- ideally stemming from the child's interest! One of my favorite art websites is www.kinderart.com! :) EVERY art project I have done from their website has been a BIG hit!!! I hope you ENJOY it as much as I have!
