The Atom!

And the first classes that got off the ground was robotics and science. I have TWO science classes, and Cayleen does TWO robotic's classes. We do them at the same time. While one of us is teaching the Youngers, the other is teaching the olders, and then the school bus (Peavoy's van) comes and we switch. It's worked out really well so far.

There have been about 30 (THIRTY!!!) kids in total!!!

Here's my older group that are mostly veterans of our clubs:


Our first week we introduced the atom. I finally made a video of my song I made up 15 years ago (I'm getting old!)


And we talked about the magnetic properties of atoms and got rid of some electrons on balloons and showed how they repelled each other after that:


FYI you might see some blurred faces in some photos because moms want their kids off the internet which I totally understand.

The next week we learned more about the atom and it's parts, so we made atom models out of candy! Shockingly they all thought that was a hit.
