Living in a small community, with fewer services and less people (meaning less families that home school) is sometimes a challenge when it comes to finding support groups like these. Unfortunately, there is no support group like this in our community, which left us looking outside of town.
The two we came up with were about 1hr 15minutes away (in Woodstock) and about 45minutes away (in Presques Isle Maine, USA).
In the communication I've had between the Presques Isle, ME coordinator, I am very excited to be joining a group that is SO welcoming! I have emailed/talked to 3 different women and ALL of them seem very excited and very welcoming to be gaining a new member to their group!
This group has so many activities going on that we have to pick and choose which activities we will be attending, who woulda'thunk???
From what we've chosen so far, the options we like are:
- every Friday (for sure) - gym class for 1 1/2 hours. University students will be teaching the children in sessions of every 4 weeks, they will learn about and practice new sports.
- Twice per month (probably) - a science program at the Francis Malcolm Science Center in Easton, Maine
- every Wednesday (possibly) - swimming lessons (for home school families only), have to call to confirm today
NOW, I just have to decide HOW much we want to be travelling close to 2 hours per day on the road. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it goes with our work load....which will always be the priority!
We are all really looking forward to the new friendships we will make and the new opportunities we will have this year as part of this group!
