Week of March 17

Hi everyone,

This week will likely be a bit crazy. I'm one of the directors for the high school play scheduled for March 21 and 22. I'll be out all day setting up for the play on Wednesday. Hope you can come out and see The Mouse That Roared! The students have been working very hard the last few months to put on a great performance.

Here is what I have planned for this week:

Computers 2
I decided not to start Publisher last week, because many students needed more time to finish their PowerPoint projects. This week, we will view each student's PowerPoint in class. The remainder of the week, students will watch a movie about Steve Jobs and learn about some Web 2.0 tools they can use for a variety of projects. There will be no homework this week.

Business Concepts
We will continue with taxes this week. Students will complete review sheets and learn about other types of taxes, such as excise and sales taxes. While I'm working on the play Wednesday, students will watch Shark Tank, which has turned into one of their favorite activities. They really get into the different business ideas. On Thursday, we will review the taxes chapter and on Friday students will take a test over the chapter and turn in their notes.

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