New Semester!

Hard to believe the year is half over! Here is what we have going on for the week of 1/18 to 1/22. We have the fortunate problem of having more students in Auto I than we have text books so 6th period Auto I has been assigned a different book. As such, make sure you are looking at the correct assignment for your class!

Auto I:
Read EL 27-43
Answer questions on pages EL 31, 37, 43
Work in shop Thursday and Friday
In this chapter students are learning how to diagnose and service the battery.

Auto I 6th period:
Read ER 19-41
Answer questions on pages 32, 41
Work in shop Thursday and Friday
In this chapter students are learning how to diagnose and repair cooling and lubricating systems.

Tools For Life:
This semester TFL students will study small engines.
This week students will read Chapter 3 and answer questions on pages 21-24 in their workbooks. REMEMBER not to write in your workbooks, answer the questions on a separate piece of paper!

Auto II:
On Monday students watched a video and answered questions about motor oil. The rest of the week will be spent in the shop.


Here is a list of what we have been working lately:
modifying our engine hoist to lift pickup boxes and cabs
painting the engine compartment and trunk area of our '72 Nova
preparing to pull the engine out of our '73 pickup to put in the Nova
pulling the engine out of a '99 suburban in preparation for a replacement engine
install the floor, shifter, seat, dash, steering column, getting ready to replace the wood in the box of our '40 chevy pickup
A constant flow of snowmobiles continues through the shop
the '52 chevy pickup is getting put back together after having the head rebuilt, its just about ready to start
All this and whole lot of other projects waiting in the wings!!

Thanks for checking in!

Welcome back!

Hope everyone had a good break! Here is what is happening the week of 1/4 to 1/8:

Tools for Life-
Read HB35-63 and complete questions on pages 46, 53, 58 and 63. This chapter deals with hand and power tools.

Auto I-
Read EP33-53 and complete questions on pages 46, 51, 53 and 54. This chapter deals with sensors and actuators.
Read SS61-79. This section deals with wheels and tires.

Auto II-
Most in class are at a lull right now on personal projects and so as a result we are getting some work done on shop projects. We are combining our '39 and '40 parts to create one pickup out of the two.
Work has resumed on building headers for the T and we are also in the process of getting the steering mounted and figured out.
With our recent rash of winter weather, the students have had a fairly constant supply of snowmobiles making there way through the shop as well!

Thanks for checking in!
