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.

6th Grade: Working on Lesson 4 and 5 of the "Introduction to Technology" module. We should finish on Tuesday or Wednesday.
7th Grade: Working on Lesson 5 & 6 of the "Animation" module. This group should finish in a few more days. It all depends on how much extra work the students want to put into their animations.
