Rockets, and Thanksgiving

Yesterday was so much fun. We had a Jr. Engineering fair at the school during they day. The teachers got to pick what they taught and then they had activities for the lesson. I picked rockets. I taught the kids about air pressure and how the rockets work. Then they built rockets with pop bottles. We launched rockets after that. It was so much fun! I had a headache by the end of the day, but it was a blast, literally. I would do it again, maybe not tomorrow, but next year I am all for it again. The other thing, next week. . . three days off of school. I am so ready for the break. I feel like I am burning out a bit. I also feel like I do the samething everyday. Next week, I will be gone half day on Monday to see some other teachers teach and on we are finished with school for the week on Wednesday. I can have some fun and relax for a couple of days. My whole family will be together for Thanksgiving and I am excited to see them all on Thursday. It is the first time everyone has been together for Thanksgiving in six years at least that is my calculations. . . It might be longer than that. I get to play with my family for three days. I'm very excited. Here are pictures and video of the rocket launch:
