Hi everyone. A couple of things before I let you know what we will be doing in class this week.
As I mentioned last week, the first quarter ended on Friday. Many students have been out sick in the last couple of weeks and I am missing quite a few assignments/tests from these students. Report cards will be printed Monday afternoon. Any assignments/tests not made up by that time will be entered as zeroes. But, students with excused absences will still be able to make up work after that time and the zeroes will be replaced with the proper scores. So, if your child has been absent recently, don't panic if report card grades are lower than expected. Also, if your child did not pass 1st quarter, please tell him/her not to give up on me! By receiving a passing grade for the 2nd quarter and the final exam, he/she can still pass the class. I've had it happen many times.
Okay, on to this week's activities:
1st & 2nd hour
A new group of kids this week. We will start with a timing to see how fast everyone is typing right now and then start with the basics.
5th and 7th hour
Having just finished a chapter on taxes, now we will move onto budgeting. Students will complete a webquest where they find out how much it costs to live. They are often surprised! No test this week. All assignments should be completed in class..
6th hour
Students will start a group project about a famous criminal trial. They will be required to research the trial, write a paper, create a PowerPoint and present to the class. We will work on these all week with a tentative presentation date of Tuesday, November 3.
9th hour
We are continuing resumes and cover letters. No test this week as we continue working on book exercises.
