Lift Off

You've probably been wondering what we've been up to the last few weeks. Well, for those of you who know - I work at the awesome private school called Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy (http://www.legacypca.org/). It is the perfect scenario for me. I teach M, W, and F and the kids come with me to school! Its a regular school, but it is modeled after colleges (thus why it is a "University Model" school). The kids don't come to school on Tues or Thursdays, but are "taught" at home by their parents over the material that was covered in class the day prior. Anyways, this year I am teaching 7th and 8th grade math and science, and the things we are able to do you would NEVER be able to do with public school kids!!

Here's an example. My 8th grade science class just finished a unit on Space travel and rocketry. They had a project in which they had to create two model rockets from a kit I gave them. We then got to launch them and have fun! It was awesome and the kids, along with their families really enjoyed it. Here's some pictures from our Launch Day:
