Week of February 25 - March 1

Hi,

I hope everyone enjoyed the snow days last week. Thanks to the extra days off, I'm completely caught up with grading. All grades are in TeacherEase for you to view. It's hard to believe, but there are only two weeks left of 3rd quarter; time for that final push to get grades up. Here is what I have scheduled for this week:

Computers 1
We will continue typing business letters and creating letterheads. No test this week.

Business Concepts
We will continue discussing taxes this week. All study guides will be due on Tuesday (pushed back due to snow days). We will review on Wednesday and take a test on Thursday over taxes. I will also collect notes on that day.

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

Week of February 18 - 22

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. Here is the schedule for the upcoming week:

Computers 1
We will continue working on business letters with letterheads. There will be no test this week.

Business Concepts 
We will continue with the taxes chapter this week. Students will learn how to fill out 1040EZ forms and students with W-2 forms can bring them in to have their taxes done in class. Study guides for sections 1 and 2 will be due on Thursday.

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

Week of February 11 - 15

Hi everyone,

Here is the schedule for this week:

Computers 1
On Monday, we will review the chapter over research papers. On Tuesday, we will take a test over the chapter. Students have their reading guides for studying. The rest of the week we will start project 3, which covers letterheads and letters.

Business Concepts
On Monday, study guides 9.3 and 9.4 are due and we will review. On Tuesday, students will take a test over chapter 9. The rest of the week we will start a chapter over taxes. Students will fill out a W-4, look at W-2s, and fill out 1040EZ forms. Any student who has a W-2 can bring it in and we will fill out his/her 1040EZ as a class.  There should be no other homework this week.

Have a good one.

Week of February 4 - 8

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the late post this week. I would blame the Super Bowl, but since I didn't actually watch it, that wouldn't be fair. Here is what I have scheduled this week:

Computers 1
We will continue working on research papers. No test this week.

Business Concepts 
We will continue the chapter on careers. Students will write a paragraph about their chosen career using information they gathered last week. Later in the week, they will watch a movie about interviewing. Study guides for sections 1 and 2 will be due on Thursday.

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