6th Grade: The rockets were due last week. Students took them home and painted them for extra credit. Hopefully the kids were the one's that did the work (under parent supervision).
The rockets have been graded and students will be "fixing" any problems with them Monday and Tuesday. Some of the problems are: parachutes not packed correctly, nose-cones too tight (because of the spray paint leaking inside the body tube), launch lugs (straw looking thing on the side) lining up with the fins......
All of these items are safety issues when we go outside and launch them.
We will launch the rockets third trimester near the end of the year since the weather this time of year isn't too good.
7th and 8th Grade: These students are on their third module and should finish some time next week.
Remember all work can be "Made Up" without penalty if the student comes to open labs. Times are listed on the sheet that was sent home at the beginning of the trimester.

Cross country: The boy's team and two of the girls travel to Normal Illinios this weekend to compete in the state cross country meet. Go Spartans!!
Next Monday is the last practice and the last practice for Mr. Rodda. First, there will be a handicap race for the current runners. Slower runners get a head start and "technically" all runners should finish at the same time.
Second, there is a "Parent/Student Run" at about 4:00. The student runs a mile and then their parent will run, walk or crawl about 3/8 mile. Ribbons will be given to the top ten finishers (if there are that many).
Third, at about 4:30 there will be the "Run with Rodda". All of the team, any former runner and any of the parents are invited to run with Mr. Rodda on his final lap at Lakeview.

7th and 8th grade finished their second module this week. Several of the students need to come to open lab and do make up work for things they didn't finish. Come in soon!
6th grade finished the rockets this week. I had the students take them home yesterday if they planned on spray painting them for extra credit. I gave them a shoe box to put the rocket in so the rockets don't get damaged. Have fun painting them, but be careful. You don't want to put to thick a coat on at one time. Give the rocket some time to dry before puting on a second/third coat of paint.
ROCKETS ARE DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY after the four day weekend.
