Week of February 23

Hi everyone,

Hopefully this week we are back to normal. I know I have had my fill of snow days for the year! Here is what I have planned for this week:

Computers 2
Students will be working on their independent PowerPoint projects all week. They will receive participation points for staying on task and working all hour.

Business Concepts
We started chapter 3 last Friday, over careers and job searching. This week we will continue the chapter. Students will explore career options and pick two careers to research. After gathering information, each student will pick one of the two careers and write a short essay. All of this work will be done in class. There should be no outside homework.

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

Week of February 16

Hi everyone,

I hope you have all enjoyed the extra-long weekend. Here is what I have planned for the three days left in this week:

Computers 2
On Wednesday, students will do one final PowerPoint using information from the book. On Thursday and Friday, students will begin working on the final PowerPoint project for this class. It is worth 100+ points and will take a couple of weeks to finish. The presentation is on a topic of the student's choice.

Business Concepts
We will start chapter 3 this week, over careers and job searches. This week, student will begin to research two careers of interest to them after high school. They will write a short paragraph about one of these two careers. There should be no outside homework this week.

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

Week of February 9

Hi everyone,

Students have an early dismissal on Friday at 11:45 this week. Here is what I have planned:

Computers 2
Students will continue using video, audio, and special effects to create PowerPoints.

Business Concepts
On Monday, students will finish their PowerPoints about identity theft. On Tuesday and Wednesday, they will watch a movie called Scammed. On Thursday, students will do an online activity about consumer protection. This activity requires everyone to bring a pair of earbuds to class. Earbuds may also be purchased from me for $2 a pair.

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