Week of November 26 - 30

Hi everyone,

We are in the home stretch; only four more weeks in this semester. Here is what I have scheduled for this week:

Computers 1
On Monday, students will complete their final reading guide over Excel project 2. The rest of the week they will work on creating worksheets involving the use of the average, maximum, and minimum functions. There will be no outside homework.

Business Concepts 
This week, we will start a chapter over credit. We will discuss installment loans before moving onto credit cards. Students will look at a credit card statement and learn about the "minimum payment trap." There should be no outside homework.

Business Law
On Monday, students will complete yet another case brief. On Tuesday, we will start the next chapter over consideration. Again, students will analyze contract scenarios to determine if a contract exists. There should be no outside homework.

Have a great week!

Week of November 19 - 23

Hi everyone,

A short week before Thanksgiving break. Here's the schedule:

Computers 1
We will start the walkthrough on Excel - Project 2 together. This should be the last project we complete this semester.

Business Concepts 
Checking packets are due Monday. I decided not to have the test last week, so we will review Monday and take the test on Tuesday.

Business Law
We will finish up the chapter over offer and acceptance of contracts this week. We will review on Tuesday and take the test Wednesday. Study guides will be due on Tuesday.

That's it for this week. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Week of November 12 - 16

Hi everyone,

Here is the schedule for this week:

Computers 1
On Monday and Tuesday, students will work on their last worksheet for Excel - project 1. On Wednesday and Thursday, we will review and on Friday we will have a  test over the chapter.

Business Concepts
Students will continue working on checking packets in class this week. I'm hoping to have them due this Friday but I want to see how everyone is progressing at the beginning of this week before I set a firm  date. If they are not due this Friday, they will be due the following Monday. This Friday I'm also hoping to have a test over checking accounts.

Business Law
This week the content in this class shifts gears a bit. From now until the end of the semester, we will be discussing contract law. There should be no outside homework for this chapter other than study guides. 

That's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of November 5 - 9

Hi everyone,

Here is the schedule for the upcoming week. Things might get switched around a bit because of freshman and sophomore testing this week, but here is the overall plan.

Computers 1
On Monday and Tuesday, students will work on the reading guide for the first Excel project. For the rest of the week, they will work on creating their third Excel worksheet.

Business Concepts 
Students will be working on checking packets all week. These packets are worth 150 points (about 3 tests worth) and will be completed entirely in class. We are still working through an example month together, but later in the week students will begin to work independently.

Business Law
Making movies last week took a bit longer than I planned, but they were worth the wait. The students did a great job. We will watch A Civil Action at the beginning of the week and then write response essays in class later in the week.

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