NASA Night

My kids' school wrote a proposal to be one of a handful of schools that get to speak to the astronauts this spring while they are aboard the space station.  I think this is such a great opportunity for them!  So, they have been learning a little extra about space to help them prepare for this opportunity.  One of the things they did was had a space night at school.  Ella and Sam were anxious to attend.  The kids participated in all kinds of experiments to learn about what life would be like in space.  They had a wonderful time.  The school was packed and it was so great to see so many kids excited about learning science.  

Excuse the quality of the pictures, all I had was my phone.  Sam's is especially fuzzy because he wanted to do a selfie.  It would be too embarrassing to have your mom take your picture.

Ella learning about force.
