6th Grade: We finished our rockets Wednesday and turned them in for grading. Some of the paint jobs were outstanding. Micah's paint job was the best I have seen in all the years of doing this project. We will fly the rockets as soon as the weather allows.
7th Grade: They are on day two and three for 1st and 2nd period of their third module.
8th Grade: They are on day five for 5th period and day six for 8th period.
Remember we have a number of times in the morning and during study halls for students to come to the lab and do make up work.

Cross Country runs in the Sectional meet this weekend. We hope to have a number of runners qualify for the state meet the following weekend.

6th Grade: We are working on the Space and Rocketry module. We have spent several days in the classroom working on the model rocket construction. They should be ready to fly soon. I will have the students take them home this week so they can spray paint them. I have told them several times to let their parents know about the spray painting. So, parents don't be surprised when they ask you (maybe at the last minute) to get some spray paint for the rocket.
We will fly the rockets on a nice day once the rockets are graded.
7th Grade: Is working on their second module. We should be done with this module at the end of this week or the beginning of next week.
8th Grade: They are nearing the end of the second module. They should be done in the next two days.
