Whew! I’m starting to feel “caught up” after being gone for a week. I almost feel like I’m a kid who has just gotten a big pile of gifts, but can’t play with them yet! Space Camp was amazing in every way I can describe. I met so many awesome teachers from around the world, learned about ways to incorporate math and science into my curriculum on a much deeper level, and am so excited to start planning units for next year that I can hardly wait.  I look forward to integrating space studies, rocket building, cool experiments, problem solving, and real-life applications to science that I have learned while training like an astronaut!  I brought home a suitcase full of souvenirs, but more importantly, I brought home a huge desire to inspire my students through learning experiences!

The most awesome team in the universe.. Team Unity.  17 teachers. 5 countries. 1 Great Experience!

Trying out the pilot’s seat… so much pressure and teamwork involved!

“Atlantis has cleared the tower!” was my favorite thing to say! 🙂

I look forward to sharing my explorations in math and science here on my blog this coming school year.  I am still organizing it all, but can’t wait to get started!
