Welcome to Dad's Academy

Dad's Academy is your school away from school. Don't groan and roll your eyes. You will find that we cover all kinds of subjects. The goal is to make you use your noodle. Most classes take between 5 and 15 minutes (if your not distracted by your friend's texts).
Once you complete a lesson in Dad's Academy you qualify to enjoy some free time (with your phone, iTouch, Wii or good old fashioned brain numbing TV).

Day 28: Reading and Writing

Elementary students: complete these two worksheets




Middle School (and Elementary students beyond 2nd grade) students:
  Write a letter to your future self (imagine yourself at age 25 as you write to yourself). Talk about hopes and expectations, what you would like to accomplish between now and your 25th year.  Tell yourself about one of the most exciting and/or fun things you did this year.  Put the letter in and envelope and mail it to:
Dad's Academy
Attn: Thomas Wicke
8670 Zircon Way
Arvada, CO 80007
I will mail it back to you on your 25th birthday (put the date and year of your 25th birthday on the back of the envelope).

High School students: 
Read Chapter 3 of Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography (click here for free online text) and make a comment about what most impressed you about this episode in Mr. Franklin's life.
