Space Shuttle Launch

On Friday during summer school, I along with my 5th and 6th graders watched the last shuttle launch.  Thanks to http://www.survivingateacherssalary.com/ for showing me the wonderful link.  I had no idea that it was the day for the launch.  Facebook isn't always bad :)

Here was the count down clock:

 Here is the launch as it was happening.

I told my students that some day someone was going to ask them where they were when the last shuttle launched.  I am glad that we were apart of history.  Can you guess what our writing topic will be on Monday? :)
