The Great American Teach-In

Last Thursday was The Great American Teach-In at school. My class was lucky enough to have a Specialist from the Army come and visit us first thing in the morning ... and yes, it was yours truly - ZACHARY! :) They absolutely loved him! He brought in a lot of his equipment, told some stories, and even showed them some moves ... on them and on ME! We counted my students doing push-ups/pull-ups.. and he even did 2 for them. lol. He let them try on his helmet, his pistol belt (without the pistol - of course) and 2 different types of vests. They asked a lot of good questions and stayed interested throughout the presentation! Thanks Mr. S for coming to visit our class - you rock! :) I had them all write him thank you notes at the end of day and he enjoyed reading them all that night!

Letting one of my students try on a vest...

This is a different teacher's student trying on the bullet-proof vest!

We were also lucky enough to see a martial arts trainer, an ex-cop, a financial adviser, AND we skyped in a movie trailer music composer from LA! He did the music for Megamind and the kids went nuts! It was such a fun day, but busy, day! ... and I'm now on a NINE day vacay! WOOT WOOT!!!!! :)
