1 Activity Straw Rocket Lab (finish today)
All classes were 37 minutes today so we would have time for the Talent Show so there was just enough time for some students to finish the Straw Rocket Lab.  The rest of you can turn it in on Monday, April 23

Miniatures Club New Game starting.
It has been too many years since we have played Pirates, the constructible strategy game so here we go.
Here is a link to a blog that has the rules and other information.  Aside from the glossary and the bits about monsters, the basic rules are pretty short.  The club, thanks to Mr. Realini, Justin, Mr. Lenchi, and mostly Mallory, will provide all the ships.  Former students will be helping you learn the game but please read the rules first.  And remember to please be careful with these ships.  Super glue can only do so much.
