PLEASE COME to homeschool family day at Museum of Natural History 10/23

Tabitha,

I am sort of panicking about Polar-palooza...we will have program officers and evaluators here to observe...so want to put on a good show.
If you can, give it one more email to all your homeschool community folks to remind them about the homeschool family day on 10/23 from 1-4pm...

Thanks,
jayne



CELEBRATE the INTERNATIONAL POLAR YEAR
WHEN POLAR-PALOOZA COMES TO ALBUQUERQUE
in OCTOBER, 2007

Why should people in New Mexico care about the Poles?

What explains why penguins live down South, and polar bears only in the North?

How can thousand-year old ice from the Arctic and Antarctic help us understand Earth’s future climate?

Who are today’s polar explorers, and why do they risk frostbite and crevasses to study some of the most extreme conditions on the planet?
Check out NMnaturalhistory.org for the full month-long calendar.
