Week of April 26-30

Hi everyone,

I have been grading this weekend. I will put grades into the grading program tomorrow and post them here tomorrow night. Until then, here is the schedule for the upcoming week:

8th grade computers
Personal-business letters will be introduced this week. Students will type two letters a day, with emphasis on format and accuracy.

Business concepts
We are in the middle of a chapter on savings and investments, which includes a section on mortgages. This week will be a bit different as juniors will be taking the PSAE on Wednesday and Thursday. So, we will review for the test on Tuesday, but we will watch a movie called the Digital Divide on Wednesday and Thursday, so juniors don't miss out on class content. Then, we will take the test over the savings chapter on Friday. Study guides will be handed out Monday and due on Wednesday, with some time given to work on them in class.

Students will work on creating their own Flash document on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday-Friday will be catchup time as half of the class will be out for PSAE and field trips during those days.

I think that's it for this week. I will have grades up tomorrow. Have a good one!
