Baby Chickens - Right on Time !


Sunday evening - Mrs D stopped by to check on the chicken eggs and to move them from the egg turner.  She was excited to see that several of the eggs were beginning to have cracks, some eggs were moving, and you could even hear one or two baby chicks chirping.  Looks like we will absolutely have some baby chicks this week - what a great way to finish up the school year!

Watch Shuttle and Space Station Flyover While Docked

The second to last of the shuttle missions, STS-134, is underway right now and the Space Shuttle is currently docked with the International Space Station.  We have a great opportunity (in the Dale County area) to view the two as they pass overhead next Wednesday, May 25th.    At 5am that morning, look for the Shuttle/ISS to appear in the northwest sky (316 degrees) and almost directly overhead (80 degrees).  As you are facing northwest, it will appear to move from left to right.

If you are not in Dale County, Alabama, check the following link to find good viewing times for your area.  Real Time Satellite Tracking

Moving Day for our Classroom

As we wrap up the school year, we are making some changes - one of those is moving to a new classroom.  Thanks to the staff members, fellow teachers, and students who pitched in to help with the move.  Our new classroom looks great !
