High School/ Advance P.E- We will be in the weight room on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Students have a workout sheet that I put together for them to work through and fill out. They need to write in their lifts, weight lifted and reps neatly in order to get 20pts toward their weekly grade. Being neat and participating are key!!Students on Tuesday and Thursday need to need to be active and participate in whatever activities we are doing that day.Students can benefit from weight lifting if they actually get in involved.

General Shop- Students are doing a fine job. We are constructing the sides of our night stand right now and will  be working to get them into a box form.Some students are doing a great jog of working everyday and doing what is asked.There are a few who need to be more motivated. And others are alittle frustrated  because of the lines to operate various machines.We again we will be looking at fractions with a focus on addition, subtraction and multiple.

Advance Shop- Some students are doing a great job of getting to work, focusing on getting something done each day. This class is based alot on PARTICIPATION! Everyone has a project picked out and they need to work on it everyday . If they do that and help clean-up,bingo everyone gets an "A".
  

Advance P.E/ High School P.E- This week we will finish up the testing for bench and squat. I would also like to test students on their flexibility this week as well. Weather permitting and no games scheduled that night for school teams, I would like to have all students run a mile. The goal is to keep running everyday in class and have all students improve their times by the end of the semester or the year.

General Shop- I had all students take a quiz/test on fractions. Most  students did very poor!.I want to review it and redo it. A majority of the student honestly can not perform simple fraction mathematics like addition, subtraction etc.WE ALSO ARE WORKING ON BUILDING ARE NIGHT STAND PROJECT. Students are making the raised panels for the sides of their night stand this week. They will be learning to glue up panel sides this for their night stand. Looking at the end grain, running the edges through the jointer etc.They also needed to have a book cover made this week and turned in as well.


Advance Shop- Everyone appears to be working and making a project! Kids will get an  A in the class if they work, clean-up and are respectful. I will be doing some weekly math assignments too directed towards the ACT test. This week it will be story problems!                     

Advance P.E/High School P.E- No class on Monday because of the 2 Hr Rambler delay time! Tuesday we will follow our routine of stretches, push-ups, sit-ups and running followed with an activity to conclude the hour. I will continue our physical fitness testing on sit-ups and then start push-ups. Wednesday and Friday we will be in the weight room finding every ones max. weight on the bench press and squat. I can take students in the weight room, but I can't make them lift and get stronger.

Advance Shop- Most students have a project and are working everyday! Some still are not sure what they want to make. If your son/daughter is one of those still undecided please help me get them on track. I also sent home a letter with all students in Advance shop for a parent signature that tells what your son/daughter is planning to build and a estimated cost to build the project. We also will be working on some math problems geared towards the ACT.

General Shop- I still need the some of the sheets "What you need to know about General Shop" returned to me with a parent signature. Students are cutting out pieces A,B,C,and D for their night stand with some students all ready using the router.Students will need to start making a cover page on the computer or by hand to start their General Shop Book! We also will start working on "FRACTIONS" in class. Look for some home work!

High School P.E/ Advance P.E- Students have been given a lock and locker to store their gym clothes in everyday so they don' have to carry them each day!!However, the locks do absolutely nothing if the students don't lock them. I also strongly suggest large amounts of cash and other expensive valuables not be stored in gym lockers!!! We stretch each day, run laps and do push-ups and sit-ups everyday. I will start testing students on how many sit-ups and push ups they can do along with their max. weight in the bench press and squat.

General Shop- Students will start cutting boards for their nightstand project this week!Which means they will need to know what kind of wood they want to use for their project. I sent a sheet home with all general shop students the first week of school called" What you need to know about General Shop". It outlined the cost of the nightstand project and other important info I thought parents should know about the class. Please read and sign so your son/daughter can return it to me. Also, all students need a tape measure and pencil for class each day. We will start going over fractions in class.

Advance Shop- All students need to build a project!!!!!!All are required to draw it , have a picture or something I and them can work from. This week I will be sending home a sheet that has their project and a estimated cost to build that project included. Please sign it and return it A.S.A.P.They also need a tape measure and pencil everyday, as well as be in class on time.

All 9th, 10th and 11th grade students will be testing in the morning of Sept. 12th 8:15 to 11:56! Seniors are off unless they are in morning CTC.

Welcome to a new year! I look forward to building something in wood shop with your son /daughter this year. I also plan to work your son /daughter in P.E. class so they feel better and are stronger!

Advance P.E/High School P.E - Student will be getting a copy of expectations from me on the first day! This will cover the necessary dress for participation, lockers and class expectations. Everyday we will stretch and perform some physical exercises! Students will be tested in the areas of sit-ups, push-ups, mile run, squat, bench press, and some type of flexibility at the begining of the year. The goal here is to see how many of each exercise  they can do now with an emphasis on increasing the total by the end of the class. There will be some days where we play different sports and on other days we will be in the weight room. Participation is the most important part of this class!!!! Everyday a student gets a daily grade based on the above!



General Shop- Students on the first day of school will be getting a copy of expectations regarding rules, cost for the class and what the class is all about! This sheet will be coming home for you as a parent or guardian to sign. Students in general shop class will be making a project I like to call a nightstand. The cost of this project is $75.00!!! Students will need to buy some hardware as well; like knobs, hinges or handles! Students are expected to work on their project everyday! There also will be clean-up responsibilities each day for everyone! Grades are based on work (participation) clean-up and other activities. I will also be working on reinforcing math skills and writing skills with weekly assignments. Everyday a student gets a daily grade based on  working and clean-up.




Advance Shop- Students will get a sheet of class expectations on the first day!Advance  shop is about building a project and cleaning up everyday! Participation is a key factor in this class.
