Hi everyone,
Parent-teacher conferences are this Friday from 8-3:30. I'm looking to forward to meeting those of you who are able to stop in.
Here is the schedule for this week:
Computers 1
This week, we will start project 2 over formatting research papers. I had planned to start this last week, but things went a bit slower than I originally planned. Students will use the tools in Microsoft Word to format research papers with the MLA style. All research papers are pre-written, they will not be responsible for writing their own papers in this class.
Business Concepts
On Monday, we will review chapter 15. On Tuesday, we will take a test over the chapter and I will collect notes. On Wednesday, we will start chapter 9 over career exploration and job search skills. Students will research possible careers, fill out a job application, and learn about interviewing. There will be no outside homework this week.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.

Week of January 7 - 11
Hi everyone,
I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable winter break. Because I only teach semester long classes, this week is similar to the first week of school, learning student names and getting into a routine.
This week's post will have a short description of each class as well as the schedule for the first week.
Business Concepts 1
This class is considered a consumer education credit. Students will learn about real-life scenarios, such as finding a job, making smart buying decisions, filing taxes, using a checkbook, using credit cards, etc. The class is one semester in length and is a graduation requirement.
This week, we will be starting chapter 1, about the economy. We will be taking notes in class and completing activities related to the content. Study guides for the chapter will be passed out on Tuesday, with the first two sections being due Friday.
Computers 1
This class covers both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Students will learn how to create flyers, reports, and letterheads in Word during the first quarter. Excel will be introduced during the second quarter when students create charts and graphs for various data. The class is one semester in length and is a graduation requirement. There will not be work to take home for this class, as it is all completed in the computer lab. However, students will be responsible for studying for tests.
This week we will be starting a project in Word about creating flyers.
That's it for this week. Have a good one.
