Friday, June 22, 2012 I wasn’t ready to post last night because I really couldn’t find the words. We had an amazing, inspiring day at Kennedy Space Center.

Advanced Space Academy for Educators Day 2: The wheels on the bus go round and round
Thursday, June 21, 2012 We started the day with breakfast at space camp. We then boarded the bus for the (long) drive from Huntsville, AL to Cape Canaveral, FL. It was funny driving through (actually around) Atlanta since I was so close to home. In Valdosta, we swapped out drivers and continued on our way.… Continue reading Advanced Space Academy for Educators Day 2: The wheels on the bus go round and round

Fast forward to this morning, we… Continue reading Advanced Space Academy for Educators Day 1: Let’s climb and fly!

Then on Saturday, I saw a tweet from Leland Melvin about the contest saying there were only two days to go. I decided I really… Continue reading Creating a t-shirt design
One small step for a teacher…
…one giant leap for my classroom? I’m going to Space Academy for Educators! I found out on Thursday night that I was awarded an Educators @ Space Academy scholarship from Honeywell.

The Carefree Days of Summer
I love summer break. (I am not so big on the summer heat, though!) My days are relatively carefree compared to the school year, and I feel like I can totally re-invent my classroom for the following year. I love to change things up, and my classroom is never the same from year to year.… Continue reading The Carefree Days of Summer
