    Enrichment is in full swing!  The 7th/8th graders are still working on making a roller coaster to test the velocity of their "rubber balls".  The only problem they have run into is that the balls flattened out over the Christmas break.  We are using marbles now!  Again, my hope is that the students will share their roller coaster with the first graders.

     The 5th/6th grade Enrichment students are moving right along as well.  One of the small groups shared their finished project to the rest of the group and we have written some reviews to share.  The 6th graders decided they would like to work together on the Rock America project.  Hopefully, they will enjoy the amount of work that goes into that project and have some exciting things to share when they finish.  The 5th graders are still working on making a game board for the group to play.  We are looking forward to seeing that as well.

     All of the Enrichment students are very enjoyable to work with and I like listening in to their varied discussions.

Thanks,
