Week of October 22
All of the shed designs should be complete, now. We will work on estimating the cost of building materials this week and then look at analyzing the heat transfer through walls. Ever wonder how home designers determine what type and size of air conditioner unit to put in a house? This is where you will find out. Make sure that you leave your journals in class this week, so that I can complete a journal check for you before grades are due next Tuesday.
Don't forget that Friday is a pep rally, and Thursday is a late start. Consult the RRHS main web page for the bell schedules on those days.
This is also the last week of the mid-six weeks progress reporting period. All work needs to be done and turned in by Friday so that we can finalize grades early next week. Progress reports will be sent out next Friday (November 2).
Money for College
Be sure to keep up with the Scholarship Page that I have tabbed at the top of this page. I will drop scholarship opportunities there as I find out about them. The latest is Milwaukee School of Engineering. They offer scholarships for students who have successfully completed one or more Project Lead the Way class. If you are in our engineering program, want to major in engineering in college, and need more help than you are getting from A&M or Texas, MSOE might be worth looking in to for you with up to $12,000 in scholarships provided. I will update it from time to time with others as they come available.
