Mr. Hampton’s Spring Break NO NOTES 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.
Mr. Hampton’s Spring Break NO NOTES 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.

Things Learned NO NOTES 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.

Back to Business! NO NOTES 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
4th Quarter Changes 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.

4th Quarter Changes NO NOTES How many strikes to get homework? 1st period: 3 Strikes Suggestions: Stop talking during warm up/during “no talk” times. 2nd period: NO STRIKES 3rd period: NO STRIKES 4th period: 3 Strikes Suggestions: Get back from lunch ON TIME (1:03) 6th period: 7 Strikes Suggestions: Stop talking during warm up/during “no talk” times, and while I’m talking.
The Month of April NO NOTES We will be starting our new novel, “Night.” It will cover World War II and The Holocaust. I’ve you’ve ever studied the Holocaust before and hated it, give me a chance. Many if you hated English before me and now actually find reading tolerable and/or enjoyable. Just trust me…!
This Week Preview NO NOTES
Pass out graded notebooks NO NOTES Because I only had 1 day to grade your notebooks, I did not comment in them, but did save comments to my grade book. If you wish to know what your grade was for the notebook, see me after it is returned. I also need volunteers to pass out papers from the 3rd quarter I’d like submissions for my KUDOS board!
