In Class

So what did we do in class? Each morning I would show NASA’s picture of the day and we would talk about what we saw. In language arts we wrote stories about flight and researched the history of flight. We created rockets and hot air balloons that w e successfully launched during school on the playground. Pictures are available to view at www.slpschools.org/cm by clicking on school information and then clicking on school activities. We created personal mission patches for our school years “Hopes and Dreams” and also created science jobs with space related names. We watched the movie October Sky and talked about not only the space aspect but also the relationships in the video which was a tie to our health classes. Our weekly newsletter called “The Pathfinder” was also in dedication to the Pathfinder Shuttle, a shuttle that was used only to transition the NASA program from the Saturn 5 to the STS shuttle.
