Week of May 17-21

Hi everyone,
This will be my last schedule related blog post for this school year. At the end of this week (or very early next week) I will post grades containing all assignments except for the final exam and that will be my final post for this school year.

If you have found the blog helpful this year, please drop me an e-mail at mdunn@fayette.k12.il.us to let me know. It will help me to decide if I will do this again next year. If there is anything you would liked changed, please let me know that, too. Okay, on to this week's schedule and the current grades.



8th grade computers
This week we will work on creating tables in Word. Next week, we will review and complete study guides in preparation for the end of quarter test.



Business concepts
On Wednesday, we will take a test over chapter 18 (credit) and I will also collect notes at that time. On Thursday and Friday students will work with a parter to create a Powerpoint on the most important things they have learned this semester. Next Monday and Tuesday we will review for the final exam. Students will receive all of their old tests back. The final exam will be comprised of previous test questions, only true/false, multiple choice, and matching. All tests will need to be returned to me in order to take the final exam.

Week of May 3-7

Hi everyone,

Well, we've made it to the last month of school. This week, the high school will be sending out progress reports. So, I have not posted the grades here. I will post junior high grades as soon as I get them into the computer tomorrow. Here is the schedule for this week:

8th grade computers
We will continue typing personal business letters this week.

Business concepts
We will begin our last chapter for the semester. It covers loans and credit cards. We will start notes on Monday and finish the week with a movie called Maxed Out Thursday and Friday. All homework should be completed in class.

Only two weeks left for the seniors in this class. We will try to cover two more chapters from the Flash textbook before preparing for the final exam.

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