WARM UP

MondayApril 6th, 2009 (4/6/2009)

As many of you know, Mr. Hampton spent most of his spring break moving all of his “crap” from his old, rental house to his newly purchased home.

For those that do not know, this is actually the 3rd home I’ve tried to purchase. #1: 4/2 in Hawthorne, FL Refused to sell. #2: 3/2 in Ocala, FL Too greedy/did not want

to repair 24 year old leaking roof. #3 (THE WINNER): 3/2 in Ocala, FL Two ex-

teachers used to live there and passed away.

I have been watching HGTV (Home and Garden Television) for the past 6 months.

I have a lot of ideas on renovation and now I have a house to do them to.

My first project: mounting the television above the fireplace.

Demoing makes a lot of mess. Re-routing cable through the attic and

breathing fiberglass insulation IS NOT HEALTHY.

Painting sucks. 42” Plasma televisions are VERY heavy.

Over break, I’ve had plenty of time to think of what works and what does not work.

Hence, we have some changes to 4th quarter

Back to Business!

NO NOTES

Behavior contracts are still in effect if you get one, it means I am trying to work WITH you before involving the office.

4th Quarter Changes

NO NOTES

I am creating a new grade for this class that will fall into your CLASSWORK category.

It is called “Responsibility Credit.”

4th Quarter Changes

NO NOTES

What kills your grade? NOT GETTING MAKE UP WORK. To help you want to get your make up

work, everyday you will receive a grade in this class for simply “Being Here” and doing your work.

How does it work?

4th Quarter Changes

NO NOTES

Are you here and did you do your work? YES/YES = 100% A YES/NO = 70% C NO/NO = 0% F

Want to get credit for a day you’ve missed? Come and see me BEFORE school.

I will change your 0% F to a 100% A.
