Week 8

This week we just worked on plants again. Monday we tried to figure out how to tie the medal sticks to make the plants grow up. On Tuesday we did the same exact thing and Wednesday and Thursday. today is Friday and not much is really being done. It was sort of a slow week and we didn't do anything.

Week 7

This week we had another Monday off for Presidents Day. On Tuesday we just checked up on our plants. We couldn't do much but just water them and just make sure they are growing and still alive. The rest of the week we watched how the trailer is coming out. With the time that we haven't been helping as much a lot has progressed, there has been some times were I have seen that they had to re do some things that has been very annoying for them. While our class has been working on our projects another class came in to do their projects. It's fun to see them work and work with the tools in the class. 

The essential question of the week is, Do you consider yourself well rounded?
Honestly, I don't know if i consider myself well rounded.

Week Six

This week we had Monday off of school for Lincoln's birthday so we didn't get to work on our plants. On Tuesday we got to work on our plants and that's all we did all week but on Thursday we transferred some of the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and snap peas outside. That's all we really did all week.

The amount of money a equipment operator makes in California in a year a yearly salary is about 63,802 and hourly is about $35.

Week 4

This week we were mostly working in the garden area. What we did was pant more cherry tomatoes and I think we planted some green beans also. We had to put some stuff in the water that goes into the planter box to make the plants grow just a little bit faster. We tried installing something in the big water tank I forgot what it was called but it was really easy to build but it turned out to be the wrong one. The thing i'm mostly excited for is getting the strawberries and watching how much they grow. I also want to see how it all turns out when all the vegetables and fruits look taking over the planter box and being able to eat them when they are ready!

With the trailer project I haven't been working on it that much because I have been spending a lot of time with the plants. Yesterday we watched another group do something that we are going to be doing next and it seems really simple and hopefully it's as simple as it looks. The way the trailer is looking I have a feeling we will be finishing it and it's going to turn out great!

Week 3

This week we had Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr. When we came back on Tuesday I ended up just joining the trailer group and we just cut some pieces for the lights for the trailer. There was to many people and not enough things to do with the trailer because most of what was really needed to do was welding and grinding. So what the extra people did was sand some wood for a new bench for the special ed class. Thursday we switched to the plants which is actually really fun. I think learning new things about the plants is cool. Like when we switch the plants over they hang down because they are traumatized which I never knew I found that very interesting. And how much they need care just as much as a newborn baby!

Week One

The week back from Winter break I started to finish my Dallas Cowboys design for the plasma cutter. When I finished I realized that some parts of the Design would fall out. I went back to fix some of the parts that I thought were going to fall out. After I did that I watched the trailer group cut their pieces for the trailer. It was interesting to watch them come together to get it done. I was really wanted to cut a piece but it wasn't my project so I just let them do it. I have an example of what my design looked like before I changed it.

1st Semester Final

This Semester I learned a lot but I mostly learned more in AutoCad. In AutoCad you can do a lot of different projects. I've been working on a project to use the plasma cuter and it's really fun to do the design, it's a lot of work but it's worth seeing how it turns out! I also learned that I want to be a lot more hands on with the tools. I want to work on cutting the medal and welding it seems so exciting, I was very afraid to even go near the tools but now that I see people doing it, it seems exciting! Hopefully I when we get back from Winter break I can get started on the fire ring project and get to welding!
