Hello Everyone,
Today (1-18-2009) was my first day full day in Florida, I got here at 11:00 (eastern time) last night. What time was that in Perrydale?
Today we went to the Kennedy Space Center, and Cocoa Beach. Has it always been called Kennedy Space Center? I learned so much at the Kennedy Space Center. I got to see the space shuttle Explorer, full sized rocket boosters, the actual Mercury and Gemini capsules. We went into a space simulator where it felt like you were in zero gravity, it was awesome! What year did the shuttle Explorer launch to space and what was its mission? We also saw the Saturn V Rocket, it was huge!
We went to another part of the facility where they launch the shuttles. We got to see the launch and Landing pads and the and Cape Canaveral. I saw the machine that takes the shuttle to the launch pad, it gets 45 feet of gas per gallon. How much gas does the average car get per gallon? They will be launching another shuttle to the Space Station in February.
The last stop was to a building housing the Apollo 8 Shuttle which was the first launch of a Satturn V rocket. You would not believe the size! In this building I actually got to touch a moon rock! And, see a Lunar Rover. What Apollo Mission was the first to land on the Moon? There was so much more to the Kennedy Space Center! I bought the class a book to look at and read when I get back.
While we were driving I saw an alligator and an armadillo on the side of the road. Can you believe that? Right on the side of the road!
I miss you guys,
Miss Spencer

Dear Ms. Spencer,
ReplyDeleteIt is dissopointing that the epcot center was not as fun as you thought it would be. Mr. Spencer said that you are grumpy when you are tired and cold.
We are just guesing but is Disney world the same size as Salem,Oregon?
That is really cool that you saw an aligator on the side of the road! We are exited for you to come back! Have fun!

ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Spencer! I have a answers to a few of your questions and a few questionsto ask also. When you first got to Florida, was it 11:00am or pm? Is Disney Land the size of Portland? On the Voicethread with the animals, what was the lazy black and white thing? Some animals I thought were from Africa were the elephants and the girraffe. One from Asia was the tiger. Did you really meet Cinderella? Alyssa has been asking a lot of questions- as usual- and Science is still chaotic. We miss you lots and can't wait until you get back. And don't worry, we're practicing our spelling.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
