Hi everyone,
As of this week, seniors have two more weeks of school. All other students have four weeks left. Progress reports are being sent home on Monday, May 2 and grades haven't really changed since the last time I posted, so I will not be posting them here this week.
Here is the schedule for the upcoming week:
Business Concepts
We will continue chapter 19 over savings and investments. There will be notes and an activity each day. All activities should be completed in class. All study guides will be due, Monday, May 9.
Business Math
We didn't get quite as far as I had hoped last week. We will cover section 8.5 on Monday, review on Tuesday and take a test over chapter 8 on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday we will start reviewing for the final exam.

On Monday, students will begin creating a web page about a fellow classmate. I will pick partners and hopefully we will all learn something about each other!
That's it for this week, have a great weekend!

Week of April 26 - 29
Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is enjoying spring break. It has certainly been a wet one! I will post current grades sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday. This week will probably be a bit hectic. All juniors will be out of class on Wednesday and Thursday taking the PSAE and band students returning from the DC trip will be making up work. Here is the schedule for the upcoming week:
Business Concepts
We will watch a documentary called Maxed Out about credit card debt Tuesday-Thursday. That way, those taking the PSAE will not have work to make up. Band students will take their missed tests on Tuesday during class. On Friday, we will start discussing savings accounts.
Business Math
We will be using Microsoft Excel to create different types of graphs, which goes along with sections 8.3 and 8.4 in the textbook. This will take a few days and then I plan to cover section 8.5 on Friday.

We will continue working in Flash and learning more animation skills.
I think that's it for this week. Stay dry out there!

Week of April 11-15
Hi everyone,
I'm grading like crazy this weekend, with about 60 checking packets and tests in front of me. Ideally, I will have all of them graded by Monday with grades posted here sometime that day. But, it might be Tuesday.
For now, here is the schedule for the upcoming week:
Business Concepts
We will start chapter 18, over using credit. I think this is a really important chapter because it is so easy to get into trouble with credit, especially when you are young. We will take notes and complete an activity each day. I'm planning on all of the study guides being due on Monday, April 18. There should not be any other work taken home.
Business Math
We will finish section 7.8 on Monday and complete section 7.9, review Tuesday and Wednesday, and take a test over sections 7.7-7.9 on Thursday. On Friday, we will start a reading guide for chapter 8, to be due on Monday, April 18.

We will begin learning Adobe Flash, an animation program, on Monday.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of April 4-8
Hi everyone,
I'm putting this week's post up early. I will be posting grades later today. The grades will only include work from 4th quarter.
Here is the schedule for the upcoming week:
Business Concepts
We will continue to work in class on the checking packets. Students will receive participation points each day for working and bringing a pencil and a pen to class. I think the packets will probably be due on Friday. But, I want to wait and see how each class is progressing before I set a definite due date. Almost all students will complete their projects in class. The completed packet is worth 150 points.
Business Math
Students will work on the reading guide for sections 7.7-7.9 on Monday. On Tuesday, we will begin covering each section. There will be daily homework. I don't plan to have a test this week.
Web Page 2
We will continue using Fireworks this week. On Monday, students will begin creating a menu with drop-down options. Later in the week, they will create a menu of their own design.
I think that's it for this week. I will get the grades up later today. Have a great weekend!
