Today has been quite fun. Very enriching if not academic. The Space Shuttle Endeavor flew on the back of the 747 Transporter flew through the Bay Area today. As part of the NASA Ames flyby, the duo flew to the east of our campus. We had the kids out there for what turned out to be an hour but they were quite well behaved and pretty patient for middleschoolers. Mrs Kranich, with the able assistance and leg work of Mr. Reynolds, arranged a circle the the students filled in to make a happy face. This lasted until the shuttle started to go by and the students started running the length of the field to keep up with the flight.
Side note. My daughter is at a school near our house in the mountains. She was able to see the flight from their school. She also estimates that it flew over our house. I should have stayed home today.
