SUMMARY:Homeschool Day: Little Universes
DESCRIPTION:APRIL: Little Universes—Thursday 4.10.25 \nIt’s easy to see the birds and fish that call the Connecticut River home\, but that’s a fraction of the life supported by the River. There’s a whole universe of teeny-tiny creatures that are too small to see with your eyes alone. If you’re curious about all the things you can’t usually see in the River\, take part in this hands-on lesson to peek into the lives of insects\, baby insects\, and microscopic critters that call the Connecticut River home! \nCurriculum Connection: With a strong focus on interconnections of ecosystems\, learners will explore the hidden world of life science through observation and identification\, microscopic inquiry\, and observational drawing. \n  \nUpcoming Homeschool Days: \nMAY: Onrust Voyage—Wednesday 5.14.25

SUMMARY:Homeschool Day: Spring Onrust Voyage
DESCRIPTION:MAY: Onrust Voyage—Wednesday 5.14.25 \nStep aboard and travel in time–all the way back to 1614\, when Dutch explorer Adrien Block sailed up the Connecticut River.

At the end of the lesson\, we’ll look at a ship’s log from our archive and create our very own to bring home! \nCurriculum Connection: Learners will get hands-on experience with 17th-century Dutch and colonial life aboard the Onrust. We will explore the impact of European exploration on the local tribal nations as well as the environmental impact of settler communities.
