We are getting ready to start the final week of the 1st quarter. I have been really happy with student work and tests the last week. I think everyone is trying hard to end the quarter on a good note. Here's what to expect this week:
1st and 2nd hours
This is the last week of Computers for these students. On the 26th, students will move to their next humanities class. This week, we will review what we have learned during the quarter and take a test on Thursday. Students will receive a study guide this week to prepare for the test. Friday will be a free day to celebrate a quarter of hard work!
5th and 7th hours
Last week, we started a chapter on taxes. Students learned about filing income taxes and we completed two 1040EZ tax returns together. On Friday, students worked independently on two more 1040EZs and sections 1 and 2 study guides. Most students completed these in class. If not, they are due on Monday at the beginning of class. A test is scheduled for Friday, October 26. Sections 3 and 4 study guides will be due on Wednesday.
6th hour
Last week, we start Chapter 4 on criminal law. After discussing the different classifications of offenses, students spent two days exploring the Illinois Criminal Code. We will continue the chapter and take a test towards the end of the week.
9th hour
On Wednesday, students took the test over MLA reports. Overall, I was thrilled with the results. On Friday, students completed a reading guide over resumes and cover letters and we will begin creating them in Word on Monday. No tests are scheduled at this time.
Have a great week everyone...cross your fingers for some sunshine!
