Civics Project from the site of CHENH
The Christian Home Educators of New Hampshire (CHENH) have this information posted on their site about a Civics Project. This looks so interesting and I plan on looking more in to it for my teenage son to start. This is just a description in brief, click on the link below or visit the site (link to site located in right column) to get full details.
The Call to Action and the Civics Lesson Opportunity
Consider whether you or one of your older students would be willing to participate in a modern day Committees of Correspondence exercise. The main idea is to inform our population through the print media how our representatives voted on family-related issues. Each week, information would be disseminated from a central point to home school families in New Hampshire. Each correspondent would take the information and pull out the specific material that pertains to their representatives and senators of their legislative districts. He or she would then send the column to the paper for timely publication.

four springs farm
Greetings to Home School families and organizations from Four Springs
Farm. Even at this time of year we are thinking about the warm days of
summer here in the beautiful Vermont mountains. We are planning some
wonderful activities again this season. Many of you have been a part of
our past activities in the years since we opened the Campground and
Learning Center in 2004. Some of you have camped with us, taken part in
weekend gatherings, joined in our Firefly Festival, come by for a picnic
or camped overnight.
Thinking ahead in 2007 I'd like to invite you to take advantage of the
many opportunities to learn and play here at our organic farm and
Learning Center.
Sunday July 1st is the Second Firefly Festival.
Come join us for this relaxed celebration of our abundant friends the
fireflies, who enhance every hot summer evening with their amazing
patterns of flight and flash. Four Springs Farm's meadows are an ideal
habitat for fireflies. Everyone is dazzled by their outrageous numbers. We
will share a meal and listen to music before darkness falls and the
fireflies come out.
Or come up the last weekend in August to be part of our Sky Day.
Saturday August 25th we will host a Sky Day Celebration with
opportunity to learn about raptors, weather and the stars and planets.
Consider gathering a group together and migrating up here for your own
event at the farm. Come for just a picnic if you're nearby or stay and
camp much longer. We have hosted Moms and kids, Dads and daughters,
Home School family groups and individual families for casual camping or
program laced visits. Everyone is invited to tag-along on chores in the
mornings and explore the gardens in the late part of the day to pick
your own veggies for dinner.
We are happy to organize activities for you with our Program Director,
Kate, or leave you to explore our woods, fields and streams on your
own. Some ideas for programs are outlined on our farm website. Both Kate
and I will be happy to help you with your planning.
I hope everyone has had a good winter.
I'd love to have you visit our updated web site.
and please pass the invitation along to others in the Home School
community as well as to your friends and neighbors.
Wishing you well and hoping to see you or your friends/groups at the
farm in Vermont this summer.
