October 22

This week, we will continue working on linear measurements.  First, we will convert between different systems of measurement (metric, Imperial, etc.) followed by how to specify measurement dimensions on a drawing and finally how to use dial calipers to take very precise measurements (down to 0.001").  Expect a quiz over unit conversions on Wednesday, and leave your journals in class for a journal check this week/weekend.

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.
