Week of March 30

Hi everyone,

A short week ahead thanks to spring break. Here is what I have planned:

Computers 2
On Monday, students will be finishing their Audacity project. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we will watch episodes of Brain Games, a National Geographic show about perception.

Business Concepts
On Monday, we will finish the notes for chapter 5 over budgeting. Students will begin completing budgets for their lives after high school. On Tuesday, chapter study guides will be due at the beginning of the hour and we will review for the test. On Wednesday, students will take a test over the chapter and I will collect notes.

I think that's it for this week. Have a great spring break!

Hi everyone,

I apologize for missing the blog post last week. I was waiting to see if we were going to have a snow day on Monday and then I completely forgot to make a post.

Here is what I have planned for the upcoming week:

Computers 2
Students will be introduced to Microsoft Publisher this week. We will start out creating a newsletter together and later in the week students will create newsletters on topics of their choice. Later in the week I will also be showing the presentations that students worked so hard on the past couple of weeks. I should have all presentations graded by Friday.

Business Concepts
On Monday, we will review chapter 3 over jobs and careers. On Tuesday, students will take a test over the chapter and I will collect notes. On Wednesday, students will watch an episode of Shark Tank as I will be absent. On Thursday and Friday, we will start chapter 4 over taxes. There should be no outside homework.

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