Passing this along........
The Fall Home School Days at The Children’s Museum in West Hartford were a huge success. We are ready to start another session this winter starting with Tuesday, January 31, 2012.
We have developed programs that are popular in the classroom AND planetarium. We have created the right mix of physical science, astronomy, and biology programs and attached the schedule for January’s home school day. You can sign up for one, two or three classes. In addition, we have adjusted the times slightly so you have the opportunity to view an exclusive production by National Geographic, Wildest Weather in the Solar System, at 1:00 p.m. You can decide the day of your visit if you would like to stay for this planetarium show in the Science Dome; and there is a small additional charge for each guest. You can find details on the show on our website.
Not only do we have the new planetarium show, but we open a new exhibit mid-January, Dinosaurs Alive – Jurassic Treehouse. The children can walk through dramatic multimedia scenarios featuring animatronic dinosaur families of various species. The children will also get a Pterodactyl’s eye view of these prehistoric families as they make their way through the Jurassic Treehouse overlooking the dinosaurs.
Also, if you missed seeing them in November, Calvin and Hobbes, two of the three foxes who visited us on the weekends in November, became permanent residents of the UTC Wildlife Sanctuary. They are on display and just adorable.
There is a lot new at the Museum so we hope you’ll come to Homeschool Day on Tuesday, January 31. Visit our website http://www.thechildrensmuseumct.org/homeschool_day.php for the prices, details and a link to the online registration form for homeschool day. Pre-registration is required.
We hope to see you again or if this is your first time, we hope to meet you and your family. And as always, please share this information with your home school friends; we would love to have them as well.
