Week of March 29-31

Hi everyone!
We have a short week this week, due to spring break. Here is the schedule and grades are posted below.

8th grade computers
We will continue typing lessons out of the book while emphasizing accuracy.

Business concepts
We will begin a chapter about checking accounts. During the three days of school this week, students will work on a chapter reading guide using their textbooks. The reading guide will serve as their notes and study guides for this chapter. Most students should finish during class, if they use their time wisely. Those students not finished at the end of school on Wednesday will need to turn theirs in on Tuesday when we return.

Students will design and create a navigation bar using drop-down menus.





I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

3rd Quarter Grades

Above are the 3rd quarter grades for 1st, 2nd, and 7th hours.

To elaborate on the work for business concepts this week, students will be creating a budget in class. Chapter study guides will be due on Friday at the end of the hour. They will have time to finish them in class, as well. So, there shouldn't be any take home work to do this week.

Have a good week!
