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.
MD
