August Meeting (Rescheduled to Sept 3)

Our next Geography Club meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 3; 1-4pm.

We will be looking at world and state flags. If you have a book on flags, your child is encouraged to bring it along.

We will also begin making rubber stamps for letterboxing. Each child will need to bring a carving block to make their stamp.
The advice from a letterboxing website says "...use Speedy Carve (a.k.a. "the pink stuff") in this tutorial, but PZ Kut and MasterCarve are also popular choices. Do NOT use Speedy-Cut! Speedy-Cut is easy to find in craft stores, it's cheaper, sounds a lot like Speedy-Carve, and you'll be tempted. Don't do it. It crumbles far too easily for our purposes."

You can find this material at AC Moore, but their quantities are limited.

I will have carving tools on hand, but you are welcome to bring your own.

I'm getting all the information about Letterboxing from Atlasquest.com . Letterboxing or geocaching can be complicated. Some sites use GPS coordinates, but we will use the clues given on AtlasQuest.com to find out letterboxes. I find this website to be very kid friendly and a great beginning place. You are welcome to check out the website for yourself.
