Week of October 28th

Hi everyone,

It's hard to believe we are in the last week of October already. Here is what I have planned for this week:

Computers 1
This week we will start Microsoft Excel. We will walk through the first project together and at the end of the week, students will try a spreadsheet on their own. In the past, I have found that students typically earn higher grades on Excel activities than they did on Word activities.

Business Concepts
On Monday, students will continue creating budgets for themselves, finding housing, a car, and other necessities without spending more than their income allows. Last week, I told students that study guides would be due at the end of the hour on Monday. Instead, they will be due at the beginning of the hour on Tuesday. Depending on how quickly students complete their individual budgets, we will take a test over this chapter on either Wednesday or Thursday. I will also collect notes that day.

Business Law
On Monday, we will finish watching A Civil Action. On Tuesday and Wednesday, students will work on their response essays over the movie. On Thursday, we will start chapter 6, introducing contract law. There should be no outside homework this week.

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