Week of March 9

This Week in CEA
The end of last week messed up the schedule just a little bit.  This week, we will still work on beam analysis - looking at the loads and moments applied to beams in the structure of a building.  You calculated and created the diagrams from scratch, and now you will learn formulas to find the maximum shear and bending moments as well as software that can do the work for you.  You MUST have all 3 methods demonstrated in your journal: manual calculations, formulas, and MD Solids software.

Agendas:
Monday-Tuesday: Beam Analysis Shortcuts
Wednesday-Thursday: Beam Analysis
Friday: 

This Week at RRHS
I probably don't have to tell you that this is the last week before spring break!  Let's work hard and stay on top of things so that we can all enjoy a much-needed week off.  I hope that you all have fun plans for your break.

Being the 4th week of the six weeks, Interim Progress Reports will be distributed this Friday, just before the break.  Look for those to come home so that you can be aware of any issues that need to be addressed once you come back.  After the break, we will still have 3 more weeks because this six weeks actually is seven weeks long.  The end of the reporting period is April 10.

Thursday will be a late start for students as teachers will be in a department meeting.  There will be no tutorials Thursday morning, and 5th period will begin at 9:25.
