Week of February 24

Hi everyone,

Progress reports should be sent out sometime this week. I have all grades fully updated in TeacherEase. We still have four weeks left in the third quarter, so there is plenty of time to improve grades, if needed. Here is what I have scheduled this week:

Computers 2
Students will continue working with audio/video within PowerPoint. After finishing this chapter, each student will create a PowerPoint on the topic of his/her choice. This will be a large project, worth at least 100 points, so I'm encouraging students to begin thinking of topics now.

Business Concepts
We didn't finish the second half of section 2 notes last week, so students can't turn in the section 2 study guide on Monday, as scheduled. They will now be due Tuesday at the beginning of class.

Last week, each student started writing an essay on the career of his/her choice.  Some students finished on Friday, but most did not, so we will continue working on those after doing notes on Monday.

On Tuesday, I will be out all day for doctors appointments. On Tuesday and Wednesday, students will watch a movie about current scams of which they should be aware.

On Thursday and Friday, we will take section 3 notes, fill out an application, and look at the characteristics of a strong job interview. The following Monday, March 3, we will review and then take a test over the chapter on that Tuesday.

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