Week of April 29 - May 3

Hi everyone,

Seniors have two weeks left and everyone else has four weeks to go. Here is what I have planned for this week:

Computers 1
We will continue working through Excel project 3. These are rather large worksheets and usually take a couple of days to finish. There will be no test this week.

Business Concepts
We will start a chapter over saving and investing. This is the last regular chapter of the semester. There should be no outside homework.

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

Week of April 22 - 26

Hi everyone,

Here's what I have planned for the last full week of April:

Computers 1
We will start the last Excel project together at the beginning of the week and then students will complete a reading guide over the material. This project builds on the concepts learned so far and covers relative and absolute cell references.

Business Concepts
We will continue covering credit this week. Study guides 1 and 2 will be due on Tuesday and study guides 3 and 4 will be due on Wednesday. We will review on Thursday and take a test over the chapter on Friday. I will also collect notes that day. Monday - Wednesday, students will work in groups to create movies about using credit responsibly.

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

Week of April 15 - 19

Hi everyone,

The weather is getting nicer every day and we get closer to summer vacation each week. Here is what I have planned for this week:

Computers 1
On Monday and Tuesday, students will complete Excel worksheets and design them as they choose. On Wednesday, we will review for a test over project 2 and on Thursday we will take the test.

Business Concepts
On Monday and Tuesday, students will watch a documentary called In Debt We Trust to introduce the next chapter over using credit responsibly. On Wednesday, we will start notes for the chapter. There should be no outside homework.

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

Week of April 8 - 12

Hi everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed spring break. Believe it or not, the school year will be over in just a few short weeks. Here is what I have planned for this one:

Computers 1
Students will continue working with formulas in Excel. There will be no test this week.

Business Concepts
We will continue working on checking packets in class this week, Monday - Wednesday. Students earn daily participation points for using class time wisely. On Thursday, we will review checking accounts and on Friday we will take a test over the chapter. Checking packets will also be due on Friday at the end of the hour. Just a reminder that these packets are worth 150 points (equivalent to approximately three tests). It is very difficult, if not impossible, to pass 4th quarter if a checking packet is not turned in.

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