Week of October 21

Hi everyone,

Monday is the first day of the second quarter and everyone gets a fresh start with their grades. We have another four-day week, as well. Here is what I have planned:

Computers 1
We will review on Monday and take a test over Word - Project 3 on Tuesday and Wednesday. The test is being scheduled for two days because most of the students in this class are freshmen and sophomores. These grades will be taking the Explore and PLAN tests on either Tuesday or Wednesday during our class. So, they will take the Word test on the day they are not at their grade-level tests. Juniors and seniors will all take the test on Tuesday and have a study hall on Wednesday. On Thursday, we will do some type of fun activity because I don't want to start Excel right before a three-day weekend.

Business Concepts
On Monday, students will take a test over chapter 4 on taxes. I will also collect notes that day. On Tuesday, we will start a chapter over budgeting. There should be no outside homework this week.

Business Law
On Monday, we will review chapter 5 over civil law. On Tuesday, we will take a test over the chapter and I will also collect notes. On Wednesday, we will start a movie titled A Civil Action about a civil lawsuit in Woburn, MA. After watching the movie, students will write responses essays. There should be no outside homework this week.

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