Editing Sagamore Space Day

As part of [[STEM at Sagamore]], let's have a ''Space Day''!

'''Discussion''' takes place in the {{discussion list|name=''volunteer group''|id=sagamore-volunteer}}, and '''notes/documentation''' should be compiled on this page (just hit "edit").

'''This year (2013-2014)''' all classes will take a half hour on both Thursday and Friday, May 8 & 9, to do something special; [http://fernbank.edu/ Fernbank Science Center] will make a presentation in a portable planetarium, and [[User:Dave/visit/2014-05 space day|a scale model of the solar system will be experienced on the school field]].

==History==

'''Space Day''' at [[Sagamore]] began when 2013 kindergarten parent [[User:kalkgrun|Brian Gardiner]] started thinking about [[STEM at Sagamore]], which led to discovering the [[NASA Exploration Design Challenge]], which led to a meeting with [[Ms. Martin|Principal Martin]] where she suggested making an entire Space Day!
