Not much going on

Quiet day today. Malia's starting to feel a bit better. She's going to try going to work tomorrow. Hopefully she will make it without doing something bad again.

At work, I was able to, with the help of my co-workers, plan 2 Project Based Learning Units. One on Aerospace Engineering (students will design a landing vehicle that must land safely, perform 2 tasks, and have an antenna attached that survives the landing) and a Bridge Building Unit (students will learn about the forces that affect bridges, study bridge design, research famous bridges, and then create a presentation to build new bridges based on those bridges to replace the bridges on the Truckee River). Thanks go out to Kelly and Lou who provided invaluable resources for the planning session today! WCSD science department rocks!

Went out to Panda Express for lunch again today. Mixed veggies and variety of chicken dishes. Not bad. The Panda Express at the University must make a killing! The line is crazy long there!

Tomorrow is the last day of Professional Development, so we need to finalize the Aerospace Unit and hopefully the Bridge Unit as well. That leaves the last unit  (I am pushing for a Storytelling unit) for the others to plan. It's about a 7 week unit, so I am confident they can do it! This idea came about before I saw this,



but it reinforced that I think it would be cool! Storytelling could be fun, and the audience could be other classes in the school. I'm going to push for this one big time!
