Hi everyone,
We all made it through the first week. This next week looks to be a hot one, but hopefully it will cool off soon. Here is what I have planned for the upcoming week.
Computers 1
We will continue the first project in Word which covers making flyers with a variety of different formatting. There will be no test this week.
Business Concepts
We will continue chapter 1 over the economy, discussing supply and demand and the decision-making process. I pushed back the due date for study guides. Study guides 1 and 2 will be due on Monday and study guides 3 and 4 will be due on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will review the chapter and on Thursday we will take a test.. I will also collect and grade notes on that day.
Business Law
On Monday, we will finish up notes for chapter 1, covering business ethics. We will start a movie about Bernie Madoff. On Tuesday, we will finish the movie and students will begin working on a short response essay. All chapter study guides will be due on Wednesday. On either Thursday or Friday, we will have a test over the chapter. I will also collect notes on that day.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.

Week of August 19
Hi everyone,
Thanks for stopping by my classroom blog. This week's post will have a short description of each class as well as the schedule for the first week.
In all classes, Monday will be spent on a school-wide event where students will be given tours of the school and taught the expectations for the school year: Responsible, Respectful, and Ready. The day will end with everyone on the footfall field taking part in a variety of fun activities. On Tuesday, I will hand out the syllabus for each class and let everyone know what to expect during the semester.
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.
On Wednesday, 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 Wednesday, 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.
Business Law
This is an elective for junior and seniors worth 1/2 credit. The course covers the creation of law at various levels, different types of laws, and the creation of contracts. Students will do writing and critical thinking throughout the semester. This week, we will start chapter 1. Students will read an actual U.S. Supreme Court case and create a brief (summary) of the case. There should not be any outside homework.
That should be it for this week. Have a good one!
