The fifth grade class has been studying rockets and so for the end of lesson field trip, there was a rocket launch. Luckily for all the launch was postponed from a rainy day in December to this bright beautiful day in January. The entire class and teachers and chaperones walked to the High School to launch the rockets at the Soccer fields. Each rocket was different and went different heights, some zigged and zagged, some went so far they ended up in the yards of people living near the school. It was a lot of fun, the kids had a blast and I was even able to help assemble the engines and parachutes. (Apparently I didn't need to be a rocket scientist.) After everyone had shot off their rockets once or twice and all the engines were used, we headed back to the school, making a stop at the park for lunch and to run off some of that excess energy.
