**Career Fair at Greystone**
On February 7th, all the students in grades K-5 will participate in a Career Fair where they will be introduced to some unusual options for careers. The students will take a survey which will help guide them to careers that will fit their area of interests. Then they will spend time visiting with people who are doing those types of careers.

**Type I Activity**
The students were able to meet Tim Spaulding, a test Pilot for Eglin Air Force Base. He introduced all the fourth and fifth grade to what a career in aerospace engineering would entail as well as what it takes to become a pilot. Afterwards, several of my fifth grade enrichment students were able to participate in a lesson where they built paper airplanes and experimented to learn about how planes fly. They found the center of gravity of their airplanes and learned how important it is to the airplane being able to fly at all by moving the balancing points on their planes. This was the best paper airplane I have every built and flew. I will have to include a video of how to make them. What a great way to introduce kids to the careers of aerospace engineering and flight!

Students were asked to research individual career interests. They chose a career based on their skills and interests, designed a presentation on facts about that career, and then created a plan to become the career of their dreams. Here are some of the career presentations: http://gsesenrichment.wiki.hoover.k12.al.us/Student+Projects-+Presentations http://gsesenrichment.wiki.hoover.k12.al.us/Student+Projects-+Websites http://gsesenrichment.wiki.hoover.k12.al.us/Student+Projects-+Miscellaneous

Pioneer Blabberize Me !
I taught the fifth grade students how to use Blabberize, a Web 2.0 tool that allows you to create talking pictures. These are the results of their work.
