I have launched rockets with my kindergarten class. The worst (almost losing) the rocket calculation was when the Twins and I launched rockets! We were off (ok I was off) but almost a 1/4 mile. This is a picture from that day! What fun things do you like to do with kids?

I don't really have anything much to do with children these days, but it sounds as if you had fun.

we had a blast. Then spent 2 hours looking for the rocket. I was way off in my math!

I have a funny suspicion that in your family there were three small boys!

@DocAndersen I bet your boys just loved you though - and being so much older, you'd get the rap for anything that turned out wrong.

We don't/didn't have any children; and we aren't around children very much at all.

We didn't do rockets until 6th Grade in Chicago! With kids? I like digging holes in the sand and then showing them how to make a tunnel between the holes.

I got yelled at by my principal when I had 2nd graders launch the rockets. When he saw the mat they did, he stopped complaining!
