Last post of the semester
Hi everyone,
As grades are now available to parents on STI Online, I won't be posting them here any longer. If you have any questions about accessing grades through STI, please contact the office.
This will be my last post for the semester. A quick note before I do the weekly schedule:
In Computers 1, Business Concepts 1, and Business Law on Monday, December 19 I will pass back all chapter tests. We will correct them and discuss what will be on the final exam. We will continue to review on Tuesday. These tests must be returned to me on the day of the final exam. If tests are not returned, the final exam grade will only be worth 50% of the earned score.
Any student in any class who would like his/her old tests back early just needs to ask. I've found that most students don't study until right before the final so I delay handing them back. But, I'd be happy to hand them back early to anyone who asks.
Computers 1
We will continue working on project 3 activities in Excel. There will not be a test over this chapter.
Business Concepts 1
On Monday, we will cover section 19.4. Study guides for chapter 19 will be due on Tuesday. We will grade these in class and review the chapter. On Wednesday, we will take a test over chapter 19 and I will collect notes. On Thursday and Friday, students will work with a partner on Powerpoints reviewing important concepts from the semester.
Business Math
We will continue working on review guides and activities over chapters 1-4 to prepare for the final exam. These will be turned in for homework points.
Business Law
This week, students will prepare for debates. They will pick topics and prepare Monday-Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday the debates will take place.
I think that's it for this semester. Have a wonderful break. Happy holidays!

Week of December 5 - 9
Hi everyone,
I've been grading this weekend and will post grades sometime on Monday. We have two weeks and exam week before the end of the semester.
I have decided to give all of my classes a fun extra credit assignment. I've never given extra credit that didn't relate the subject of the class, but decided to make an exception. On Tuesday, December 6, I'm turning 30 (gasp!). That day, if a student wears a t-shirt made for my birthday, I will give him/her 15 extra credit points. Some suggestions from students were: RIP Mrs. Dunn's Twenties, It's All Downhill from Here, etc. Doesn't have to be anything elaborate (just a plain T with markers would be fine) but it does have to be worn all day.
Ok, on to the schedule for this week:
Computers 1
We will start working through Excel Project 3 together. This a long project and will probably take several days. On Friday, we are having a December birthday party. Almost half of the students in the class have birthdays in December, so we decided to celebrate this strange coincidence.
Business Concepts 1
On Monday, we will take notes over sections 3 and 4. Study guides for these sections will be due on Tuesday. We will grade them in class and review the chapter. On Wednesday, we will have a test over chapter 18 and I will collect notes. On Thursday and Friday, we will begin chapter 19.
Business Math
In this class, we are all experiencing some frustration. I'm frustrated at students copying each others' work and they are frustrated about not understanding some of the concepts. So, at least for the remainder of the semester, no work will be taken home. All homework will be done individually in class with my help. I haven't figured out the best way to keep the copying from happening, but maybe this will help.
This week, we are going to continue going over chapter 4, sections 6-8 with the quiz on Tuesday or Wednesday. Then, we will start reviewing for the final exam.
Business Law
We are going to start chapter 8 on Monday and take a test over the chapter on Friday. It's a quick one! I will also collect notes on Friday. There shouldn't be any outside homework.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!
