I love Maine and have always wanted to come home! I finally did back in 1998. I was born in Farmington and my family lives all over the state, primarily in the Rangeley Lakes and the Sugarloaf USA region. We live in Bath now and have for over 6 years. It's a great place to live! Just ask my husband Fran, our sons Erik, Micah, and Adam, our daughter Anna!
One thing I found interesting when I came home to Maine was that there was little in the way of Maine Studies curriculum available. It was a required course, but still homeschooling parents, and even public school teachers, were left to create their own comprehensive study. So, several years ago I started typing. Finally after testing page after page with my kids, in 2004 I had a workbook for Maine families to use. This year I have added to that book and am excited about the result! This is the 2nd edition. Use this book with the internet, a few book from your local library, and a couple classics that you may already own! By doing just a couple pages a week, your student will have plenty of time to complete this book in one year. Families using this book will learn a lot and discover the fun and beauty that is our great state all at the same time!
