6th Grade: We flew the rockets in the 6th period class yesterday. Boy was it a beautiful day; warm, sunny and very little wind. Hope all the kids liked it?
We should finish the second module today or tomorrow. All paperwork will be due for the module. Be sure to bring it to class for turn in.

7th Grade: On Day 2 of the third module. If you have make up work to do, you can make it up with no penalty. What a deal!!

8th Grade: On Day 7 of the third module. Tomorrow will probably be the last day. Be sure to finish on time. Turn in all of your paperwork!

Cross Country News: Congratulations to Amanda and John for qualifying for state!! Good Luck on Saturday.

6th Grade: We finished our rockets yesterday. They can take them home (need a shoe box for this) and spray paint them for extra credit. The rocket due date is Tuesday.
Spray paint is much better than brush paint as the brush paint typically doesn't stick well to the plastic nose cone and the plastic fins. Be careful when you spray paint the area by the nosecone and the body tube. You don't want to get paint underneath the body tube where the nosecone fits inside. If you do, it acts like glue and it will be too dangerous to fly (if the nosecone can't come off then it comes back to the earth like a dart, that is why I check each and every rocket connection between the nosecone and the body tube). Good Luck!
7th Grade: Working on the second module.
8th Grade: Finishing the second module today (and yesterday for 8th hour).
Progress Reports come out Tuesday. If you have missing work, it needs to be completed and turned in by the end of the day Monday.
