  1. Tony, it's so cool you brought up this book/movie combo! My daughters were just talking about this last week. They learn about these guys in 5th grade. I had never heard of them before and had no idea this ever happened! October Sky is one of my oldest daughter's favorite movies! She asks me to rent it or find it from the library a couple times a year!

    Thanks for sharing! They would LOVE to do the rocket thing for themselves too! I better not show them your video! :)

  4. Great presentation Tony! I haven't heard of this book or the movie. Thanks for introducing it. I think my kids would really enjoy these. I find it interesting that these boys are from a coal mining town, that's part of what my theme unit is about.

  5. Great job Tony. I have seen the movie, but I didn't realize it was based on the book. I like that you brought in the rocket project. Kids will love this.
