Thank you so much Lamar Educational Awards Foundation (http://leafgrants.org/) for funding our IFLY grant. The 4th graders at Austin are studying aerodynamics and this field trip fit right in! IFLY had a great demonstration on aerodynamics and showed us several objects (even water) in the wind tunnel. After the demonstration, we put on our flight suits, protective gear and jumped into line. Each student was provided a 20 second jump. So extremely fun for my GT students! After taking off the flight suit, they created a parachute to put in the simulation tunnel. Five different schools participated and students made fast friends. Thank you so much Janice Knight and LEAF for your generous funding for this grant! One of my students took this video. Gay Clark, Arredondo and Hubenak GT Facilitator is up first! I am in blue! What a great experience!

On Monday, April 3, the fourth graders revealed their games to their parents and staff at Austin Elementary. The students worked so hard on their cardboard games. Thank you parents for stopping in to see what is going on in 4th grade GT!
