This is my first report for the Spitzer program. I was able to help out in the collection of light curves for WZ Sge last summer during the ARBSE workshop. Since then I've tried to work with the ImageJ program and make sure that my students were well acquainted with the Spitzer Space telescope and the infrared section of the electromagnetic spectrum. I'm in the process of selecting students that I'd like to bring along to help with the data reduction for Z Cha in the fall. This summer I've been researching Z Cha, our new focus, and preparing for my visit to SSC for the data reduction. I also plan to make presentations about the Spitzer Space Telescope and supporting activities and projects that are available to the middle school science teachers in my district.
