Good morning, Grizzlies! Today is Friday, February 19th, 2016! We are in the shop today! What are we doing today? Today, we are in the shop! We are running the motor, testing the batteries, working on tail-cone, blog, and photography. Running the motor: We are running the motor because we need to always be update and make sure it is working properly. I think it is great that we are divided into teams and working on certain things to help get all of our tasks done. We have so much cooperation and problem-solving skills. From as far as I know, our motor is running fine and sounds good. Thank you to the people who are running it and holding down the button. You are helping out a lot! Testing batteries: We are testing batteries because we always need to make sure they are working properly as well. The batteries and the motor basically run our car, so its highly important that we keep an eye on how they are doing and if we need to do anything to improve them. The batteries and aerodynamics aspects are what make our car go fast and that is our goal. We need to go fast to be able to reach our overall goal, which is to do better than the last race. Mr. Cruise is helping us on testing the batteries. Thank you to him for his help and him help with guiding us on to a better path with the batteries. I think we also ordered a voltmeter! It's good that we ordered the voltmeter because we need it to check the voltage of our batteries. Tailcone: This aerodynamic aspect will help improve our speed as we form it to cut vertically through the air. Along with our batteries, this will improve are speed. We need to reach our goal! I think making changes will help us reach our goal. I am really glad that we are making these changes and ecstatic to see the outcome. Hopefully, everything comes out great and we are able to reach our goal. Blog: Of course, I am writing the blog for you guys to read. There is no updates occurring today, but their will be soon. Look out for upcoming changes to the blog! Although, I will be adding a picture to the blog. It will be going along with the Black History Month figure. I love writing the Black History Month section and I am really glad I added it. It gives you insight to why this month is great, while you are being updated about our team and car. We have a Spirit Night coming up! The date of the event is Tuesday, March 1st, 2016. It would be held from 5:00PM- 8:00PM. We hope everyone makes it to the Spirit Night. We love seeing everyone participate in events that raise money, not for us for local businesses that allow us to hold the event there. We are really lucky to be able to have a great place to hold the event and we are very thankful for that. We are also thankful for everyone that comes to our Spirit Nights. Some nights there are a lot of sport events going on. Not only with our school, but some our peers have a sibling that play for a sports team. We have a bigger chance to make more money for improvements to our car. We are really thankful for the money we have made so far. Black History Month: Ronald McNair was known for being one of the people that were in the launch of the space shuttle Challenger. He was born on October 21st, 1950 and died on January 28th, 1986. He was a NASA astronaut and a physicist. He will always be known for risking his life for a mission. He will certainly not be forgotten to anyone a part of the Rocket CIty. He is idolized for his bravery and courage of what he did on that very day. We are thankful of what he did. He is gone, but never forgotten. With more to come, Carlee from Green Grizzlies "Whether or not you reach your goals in life depends entirely on how well you prepare for them and how badly you want them. You're eagles! Stretch your wings and fly to the sky."
