Microcosmos

Our school week is going to be rearranged a little bit because of Father's Day. Instead of taking Sunday and Monday off for our "weekend", we are going to take Saturday and Monday off. We will make our Stone Soup, bread and butter (Gini Newcomb's plans for Friday of Week 2) on Sunday for Steve's special Father's Day Lunch. Our weekly field trip is therefore moved from Saturday to Friday evening, and this works really well since -- amazingly -- I just discovered that Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary is showing Microcosmos at 6 pm.

June 15 - Friday Night at the Movies: 'Microcosmos'. An evening in the Wetlands Center watching this fascinating film about insects. Afterwards, a discussion about the movie. 6-8 p.m. Free. Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, 1361 Wrighton Road, Lothian. For more information call 410-741-9330 or visit www.jugbay.org.

There is a book that goes along with this movie as well. Beautiful! You can get a copy used on Amazon for three bucks. Jug Bay was also doing an insects walk throughout their property (it was today actually) but I had to nix the idea of going to that since it was from 10 am to 1 pm and I didn't think that we would be up for it. Especially Becca; her little legs get so tired.
