Trip to Pensacola, FL - Part 5

 After the graduate picnic, we had a tour of Pensacola Christian Academy.  This is the school where they record the videos for the home school program that we use.  It was neat seeing the school in person.  


Front of the building.


The bookstore at their Christian school.





They had former students that gave the tours.







Where they have assemblies, chapel and such.






Elementary library.







Example of a classroom that you will see in our home school videos.




So for a whole school year, a class is videotaped while the teacher teaches that subject.  Those videos are used for home school students all over the world.  This is an example of where the video person would sit to do those videos in the classroom.


New technology that is now being used.  These are white boards.  Not your typical, old school white boards.  It can be used for videos, slides for teaching or used for the teacher or students to write on.  Very interesting!
Sure different than when I was in school.


The old boards! 





The one thing we would have liked was to see more physical classrooms.  Maybe next time!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
