Space Month

I've written before about Hayden's fabulous teacher, here is another example! In March the class studied space, of course Hayden was thrilled. The students were each assigned to do a report and project about something that interests them in the Solar System. Check out the class table, don't the projects look great!

The class also built a rocket, complete with a control panel computer inside. They got to take turns reading inside the rocket during the month.

After the class learned about the space shuttle, Teacher invited Dana to come demonstrate some model rockets which he and Hayden built together. This was a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed the Death Star rocket the best!

All the rockets launched well, except....

Our "Bad Luck Blackbird" ended up a block away from the school. Luckily, the nice homeowner was able to return it to us in a few days.

The highlight of the month was a trip to the Planetarium downtown. We saw a movie in the dome theater about kids who built a cardboard rocket and travelled the solar system. It was fun to get to spend time with Hayden learning this month. Thanks to a fantastic teacher to provides such fun opportunities for the kids to learn.
