Feb. 6 Falcon Heavy Space Shuttle

It was great timing when Alan brought in his space shuttle his grandma got him from Florida. This week the Falcon Heavy Rocket was launched into space on Tuesday. We watched the animation version and was hoping to watch the actual launch but there were delays as a result of the wind . Ms. Carruthers let the children see the launch on the big screen on Wednesday.
