Coach Bruce Koopman

Reminder no school Friday, November 1st. Professional  Development Day for the ISD.


General Shop- Things are progressing well with the night stand project. This week students will be working on the face frame pieces outlying the drawer and the doors of their night stand.  Some students still need to get the back on their night stand this week as well. I will put a focus on sanding this week too!.

This week-

• The main focus of the week will be getting every ones face frame pieces on.
• The next thing to get done this week will be to get every ones back on as well.
• When students have that done they need to really concentrate on sanding their project.

Advance Shop- Some good things here, but not the progression I had hoped for with some students and their projects. Monday I will review every ones project before they go to work and set some personal goals with each student.  I want some variety in the type of projects being built, but I also want them to be of high quality as well.

This week-

• Set some goals for each student!
• Work on some Math (fractions).

Physical Education- Dress and participation are the name of the game! Some students do not dress and on top of it do not participate! I strongly suggest that parents and students go on Power School and look at their grades. Points are loss for the day when students fail to dress and participate, which ultimately hurt the students grade. I will not just give out "A's".  Currently, we jog 2 laps, stretch as a group and do sit-ups and push-ups before we run 5 laps om Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Afterwards we do a class (group) activity such as Floor Hockey, Flag Football, Air Force Football, basketball and soccer. Tuesday and Thursday we stretch, run and do a class activity.

Everyday if a student dresses and participates they can get 20 points or lose points for not dressing and participating!

Looking to go in the weight room starting the next 9 weeks. One week to go!
