Week of May 19

Hi everyone,

This will be our last full week of school this year. Here is what I have planned:

Computers 2
We will do a variety of computer activities this week, including making calendars for next school year.

Business Concepts
On Monday, we will finish the notes for chapter 8. On Tuesday, we will review and study guides 8.1 & 8.2 will be due. On Wednesday, students will take a test over chapter 8 and I will collect notes. On Thursday and Friday, students will create PowerPoints in groups about the most important things they learned this semester in business concepts. 

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

Week of May 12

Hi everyone,

Congratulations to the class of 2014 on your upcoming graduation! Seniors are now finished with school, but the rest of us still have another month to finish. Here is what I have planned for this week:

Computers 2
In groups, students will begin marketing campaigns for new brands of shampoo. They will create a name with logo, bottle design, slogan, print advertisement, coupon, and commercial during this week. Finished projects will be shown to the class. There should be no outside work.

Business Concepts
This week we will start chapter 8, over saving and investing. Students will learn about the importance of saving early and will also take part in an online stock market simulation. On May 30, the student in each class who made the most money on his/her investments will receive a yet to be decided award. On Friday of this week, study guides 8.1 and 8.2 will be due.

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

Week of May 5

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather. This week will be the last in high school for the class of 2014. Seniors will take exams on Monday, May 12th. Here is what I have planned for the week:

Computers 2
We will take a test on Monday over the final Publisher chapter. On Tuesday, students will start a project using a site called Voki. This should take the rest of the week. Friday is the first annual Vandals Olympics, so I don't have anything planned.

Business Concepts
On Monday, students will complete a credit card activity. On Tuesday, we will review chapter 7 and on Wednesday students will take a test over the chapter. I will be collecting chapter notes on Tuesday, as I will be out of class all day Wednesday in a meeting. On Thursday, we will watch an episode of Shark Tank which the students always seem to enjoy.

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