First Period's work on the Portable Pig Cage for the UJHS Carnival

Period one was able to cut and place the pieces of 2x4 together. Hope to have it sided with a 1/2 grid wire later today. In period 7 the students placed wire on two sides of the enclosure (not shown).

 

Google Earth Fly and Quicktime Video

 Today students made a google earth fly and recorded the fly using QuickTime player.

Here is a sample

Rocketry Per 3 & 4

 This week the students are constructing rockets that they will launch under compressed air power next week. The design will feature a four fin and a three fin design.

Working on a Portable Pig Coop

 On Tuesday this week, I picked up an item from the HD in Ontario which is below the 60 Frwy on Euclid Ave. The item was a dog kennel. We were hoping it could be used as an enclosure for the pigs so we could take it to UJHS next Wednesday. Unfortunately, the kennel was designed to be built once and not taken apart, which will not work the way I had planned for it. So we are working on plan B.

Dog Kennel frame work. 

Google Earth

 We started on Google Earth on Thursday. In the lesson, the students flew around the world going to different places taking screenshots of where they had been and posting them on to their blogger.

Generations - The Seven Generations Currently Alive!

 Seven generations currently Living

• The Greatest Generation (born 1901–1927)    Also,  GI Generation  1.33 million as of 2021
  

They were shaped by the Great Depression and were the primary participants in World War 2.

• The Silent Generation (born 1928–1945)                               21.78
  
• Members of the silent generation possess characteristics that make them excellent employees. They are loyal, patient, and hardworking team members
• Cultural and social forces emphasized values such as hard work, loyalty and thriftiness during the time when the silent generation was coming of age. This upbringing, now sometimes called "traditionalist," instilled a sense of civic values in many people in this generation.
• 
  
• Baby Boomers (born 1946–1964) Oldest two teachers @ HHS  70.68
  
• The baby boomer generation has experienced some of the most important events in American history. Politically, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War all affected baby boomers. Woodstock, Beatlemania, and the moon landing also defined the generation
• 
  
• Generation X (born 1965–1980)  Most of the teachers         65.0
  
• It has sometimes been called the “middle child” generation, as it follows the well-known baby boomer generation and precedes the millennial generation. It has fewer members than either of those groups, which is one of the reasons that Generation X is considered to be forgotten or overlooked when the generations are discussed. 
• Members of Generation X, or Gen Xers, grew up in a time when there were more dual-income families, single-parent households, and children of divorce than when boomers were growing up. Consequently, many Gen Xers were latchkey kids, spending part of the day without adult supervision, as when they got home from school while their parents were still away at work. Gen Xers were the first generation to grow up with personal computers to some extent, thus becoming tech-savvy. They also experienced shaky economic times as children and young adults in the 1980s and ’90s. Gen Xers are typically described as being resourceful, independent, and keen on maintaining a work-life balance. They tend to be more liberal on social issues and more ethnically diverse than boomers. 
• 
  
• Millennials (born 1981–1995) A few of the teachers             72.26
  

• In general, they’re better educated – a factor tied to employment and financial well-being – but there is a sharp divide between the economic fortunes of those who have a college education and those who don’t.

  Millennials have brought more racial and ethnic diversity to American society. And Millennial women, like Generation X women, are more likely to participate in the nation’s workforce than prior generations.

• Compared with previous generations, Millennials – those ages 22 to 37 in 2018 – are delaying or foregoing marriage and have been somewhat slower in forming their own households. They are also more likely to be living at home with their parents and for longer stretches. The Great Recession has shaped their lives along with lingering financial and job failures resulting from the COVID Pandemic.

• Generation Z (born 1996–2012) = Current HHS Students           67.06
  
• 
  

Unlike the Millennials – who came of age during the Great Recession – this new generation was in line to inherit a strong economy with record-low unemployment. That has all changed now, as COVID-19 has reshaped the country’s social, political, and economic landscape. Instead of looking ahead to a world of opportunities, Gen Z now peers into an uncertain future.

• Generation Alpha (born 2013– )

Gas Prices are still Rising!

 Gas prices have been on the rise for the past year but have recently exploded due to Russia attacking Ukrain about 3 weeks ago on February 24. With the loosening of COVID restrictions gas prices began rising and accelerated when Russia declared war on Ukraine. Prices are up over a dollar since this time last year.  The local ARCO gas station at the border of Upland/Claremont on Foothill had a price for regular unleaded gas at $5.47 a gallon. Some more expensive gas stations have the same type of gas at $6.95 a gallon.

The national average for a regular gallon of gas is now $4.25, according to AAA. On Tuesday, the cost was $4.17, breaking the July 2008 record of $4.11, which would be around $5.25 today when adjusted for inflation.
