In Maine Studies we begin with an overview of general information about the state of Maine. We next work on a website scavenger hunt to get learn more facts about our great state. We then will continue with a look at Maine geography with a special look and map study of our local area. We finish up our unit with an overview of Maine history.We will focus on the Abenaki Native American tribes who lived in this area and what their lives were like both before and after the arrival of the European settlers. We are also excited about a timber harvesting field trip to a local woodlot and a Maine History Day at Smithfield Plantation in the spring.
