Good morning, Grizzlies! Today is Tuesday, February 23, 2016. We are in the shop. We are working on tail cone, presentation, running the motor, and website. Tail cone: We are working on this because we need to have more aerodynamics to our vehicle. We made changes to our nose cone after the Spring Race of 2015. After making those changes, we improved our speed a little bit, but not enough for our standards. We want to have a better chance at winning this year. This is our last year with the rest of our original members. Next year, it will be all new people besides the 7th graders this year. We are going to miss Greenpower! Presentation: We are working on this because we want to have a more efficient grade for when we present to the judges. We want to have a better grade than last year because we always love doing best we can. I think if we practice enough and do the best we can, we will succeed! Let’s hope we practice enough and get a good grade on our presentation. Let’s also hope to wow those judges! Running motor: We are running the motor because we recently got a new motor and we are keeping a close eye on that is still working correctly and that it is running smoothly. I hope that the motor does not choose to mess up because we want to be able to go to the race in April and hopefully practice with other teams in March. Let’s hope! I don’t think it will, but you never know what can happen. Website: On this team, we are working on blog and updating the website. I do not know what they are adding to the website, but I know that we should add the date and time of our Spirit Night. Just in case you don’t read the blog and you want to go, it should be on the website. There are no updates for the blog. I think I will be adding stuff at the beginning of March. So, there’s not much to talk about with website. Look forward to more updates soon! 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: Garrett Morgan was an African- American inventor. He was mostly known for his inventions! He improved the traffic signal, invented a hair straightening product, created the gas mask, and revamped the sewing machine. His inventions are so important to us, especially to our soldiers in the Army. His gas mask helps soldiers get through toxic gas without dying and it makes them able to breathe in the toxic gas. The traffic signal helps direct our traffic with our vehicles. Without, we would have a ton of car accidents. We are thankful these inventions were made! ( I am not sure if I have already did one about him, but if I did, I apologize!) With more to come, Carlee from Green Grizzlies "If you can be the best, then why not try to be the best." Garrett Morgan
