Hi everyone,
I have been grading this weekend, but I will not be at school on Monday, due to a training I am attending. So, I think I will wait until the end of this week and post grades for the first two weeks of second quarter. I don't like to post grades after only one week, as they may be very high or very low due to one assignment or test. You can always e-mail me anytime to find out your child's grade.
Okay, moving on to the schedule for this week:
Business Concepts 2
We will begin chapter 8, over human resources. On Monday, students missing work or needing to make up a test (there are quite a few) will be able to do this during class while I am gone. We will start the notes on Tuesday continuing through the end of the week. We will complete activities in class, but there should not be any other homework, except for the 8.1 study guide to be due on Thursday.
Business Concepts 1
On Wednesday and Thursday of last week, students worked on their chapter 17 reading guides in class. They will work in class again on Monday, with the reading guides due at the end of the hour. On Tuesday, we will start discussing the reading guides and introducing the checking packets. There will be no outside homework during this chapter. All work will be completed in class.
Business Math
On Monday, students will complete the 3.6 problems in the textbook. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we will cover section 3.7. On Thursday, students will take a quiz over these two sections only. On Friday, we will start the chapter 4 reading guide.
Business Law
Last week, we finished up the criminal trial presentations. On Monday, students will watch a few old episodes of People's Court to introduce the next chapter over civil law. On Tuesday, we will begin taking notes over the chapter. There should not be any outside homework this week.
I think that's it for the week. Have a good one!

Week of October 25-29
Hi everyone,
Friday marked the end of the 1st quarter. The office will be sending home report cards at the beginning of the week, so I will not be posting grades on here this week. Next weekend I will post the first set of 2nd quarter grades.
Here is the schedule for this week:
Business Concepts 2
We will continue chapter 7 notes this week. Students will do an activity over business ethics at the beginning of the week. 7. 2 study guides are due on Tuesday. We will review for the test on Wednesday and take the chapter test Thursday. I will also collect notes that day.
Business Concepts 1
Monday we will review for the test over budgets. On Tuesday, we will take the test. I will have a sub on Tuesday, so I will collect chapter notes on Wednesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, students will work on reading guides for chapter 17, over checking accounts. These reading guides will be due on Monday, as there is no school on Friday.
Business Math
I have decided to break chapter 3 into two sections to make the material more manageable. We have covered sections 1-4 so far. I plan to cover section 3.5 on Monday along with a review of the chapter. If I feel students are ready, we will take the test over the first five sections on Tuesday. If I don't feel that students are ready, there will be more review on Tuesday with the test on Wednesday. Then, we will cover the last two sections of the chapter later in the week with a small quiz early next week over just those two sections.
Business Law
Students finished their criminal trials papers and PowerPoints at the end of last week. Since I will be gone on Tuesday, we will do the presentations on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. On Monday and Tuesday, we will start discussing civil law. No homework is planned.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of October 11-15
Hi everyone,
Here are the grades as of 10/8/10. Click the image for a larger view.
Here is the schedule for the upcoming week.
Business Concepts 2
We will finish up chapter 6 on Tuesday and Wednesday, review on Thursday and take a test on Friday. I will also collect notes that day. 6.1 and 6.2 study guides will be due Wednesday and 6.3 study guide will be due Thursday.
Business Concepts 1
We will finish up the chapter on taxes on Tuesday and Wednesday, review on Thursday and take a test on Friday. I will also collect notes that day. Study guides for sections 2 and 3 will be due on Wednesday and the section 4 study guide will be due on Thursday.
Business Math
We will review chapter 2 on Tuesday and take a test on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday we will work on the chapter 3 reading guide in class. Reading guides will be due Monday, October 18 if not finished in class. There should be no other homework for the week. Students with a D or an F at this time are strongly encouraged to come in for tutoring from 8-8:15 or from 3:15-3:30 any day of the week.
Business Law
On Tuesday, we will review chapter 4 over criminal law. On Wednesday we will take a test over this chapter. I will also collect notes that day. On Thursday and Friday, students will work in small groups on their famous criminal trials projects. Groups and trials were chosen last Friday. Each group will write a paper, create a PowerPoint, and give a short presentation over a famous criminal trial.
I think that's it for this week. Believe it or not, the first quarter is over in a couple of weeks. It is extremely important that students work hard to get grades up (or keep them up) during this time. The quarter grade will count for 40% of the semester grade.
Enjoy the rest of the long weekend and have a great week!

Week of October 4-8
Hi everyone,
Thanks to all the parents who attended parent-teacher conferences on Thursday and Friday. It was very nice to meet all of you.
Here are the grades as of 10/1/10:
Click image for larger view.
Here is the schedule for this week:
Business Concepts 2
We will begin chapter 6 which covers the process of starting a small business. We will do activities daily with no take-home work planned.
Business Concepts 1
We will begin a chapter covering taxes. Students will learn how to fill out a 1040EZ form this week. There should not be any take-home work and students do not need to bring textbooks to class during this chapter. It is not covered in the textbook, but is something that I think is important to include in the class.
Business Math
We will continue chapter 2, covering sections 4-6 this week with a planned review on Thursday. With no school on Friday or Monday, we will plan to review again Tuesday, October 12 and take a test over chapter 2 on Wednesday, October 13.
Business Law
If all goes smoothly, we are planning to finish the chapter over criminal law this week. I am planning a test on Thursday, with notes collected at that time.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!
