Week Of March 19th - 23rd

 Advance P.E. / High School P.E.-Students will be lifting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They also  are expected to fill in their lifting sheets everyday after lifting showing what they accomplished that day. The intent is to improve student strength and endurance with weight lifting. Along the way they are recording their progress hopefully for some sign of progress and motivation. However, some students refuse to lift or record their lifting on the sheets. This ultimating hurts their grade! Tuesday and Thursday will be activity days.

 General Shop- Students are getting along on their projects and doing some nice work. I still need a few of them to their hardware so we can attach the doors and fasten on the knobs and handles. I will be going over staining in 6th hour this week. I spent a day last week wiht my 4 th hour reviewing fractions and laying out markings for handles and /or knobs etc. Look for a possible test on fractions and figuring area ( surface).

Advance Shop -Students need to work on their projects now!!! The school year is winding down!! Seniors are done May 18th! They have 7 weeks of school after this week. The warm weather is not helping th efocus process!

Week Of March 5th-9th

Boys Varsity Basketball Lost to Clare 70 -47. This was a tough lost for me personally because I felt like I never got this team to reach it's potential with the number of returning players off last year's Runner- up Team. I apologize to all. This team did finish 19-3 and won the conference outright with a 13-1 record.


Advance P.E  2nd hr/High School P.E 3rd hr.- Lifting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week. Students need to fill out weight lifting sheets and record their progrees everyday. They also need to dress and participate to get an A  in the class!

General Shop- Students need to get their hardware so we can assemble projects. Most students are done building and are just sanding, staining, assembling or starting to spray lacquer on their nightstand.Just a reminder projects cost $75.00 and the money is due before the project goes home. Looking to incorporate more Math into the class too.


Advance Shop- Keep working ! Finish your project! Pay for it! Before the end of the year!

McBain plays Monday in Clare at 8:00 pm against Lake City! This is the second game of the night with Farwell and Harrison playing at 6:00 pm. If we win Monday we will be playing Pine River at Clare again at 8:00pm. Clare plays Wednesday against Harrison/Farwell winner with a very good chance of making the Finals. We need a big crowd support all three nights if we continue to win!!


Advance Shop- 12 weeks of school left! Less if you are a senior. Students need to focus on working and wrapping things up!!! Everyone needs to focus on paying for their project as well. Parents help me keep them working as we wind down the school year. It will start going faster and faster!

General Shop- Students need to get their hardware (hinges, knobs, handles etc.) This is holding some students up alittle. There will be a demonstrations this week on how to stain their project and a writing assignment too. Look for some math work ahead as well. Remember student need hardware!!!!!!1


Advance P.E/High School P.E- We will lift on Tuesday and Thursday this week because of district tournament play on Monday,Tuesday and Friday potentially. Students will finish their lifting sheets from last week because of the snow day on Wednesday and Friday off. Students are doing a nice job of participating and exercising. Some students seem to forget their clothes or are tardy!
