Once upon a time when the weather was warm (January 13) the eighth grade hit the ground running in forces and motion. Students took turns running a 40-yd dash. We didn't make the NFL, but Elijah ran it in 4.95 seconds.

Mrs. Hartog's class conducted classmate interviews to learn more about each other. We then presented something new we learned about our partners!
