Hi everyone,
Here is what I have planned for this week:
Computers 2
Students will work in groups to create videos using the website Kizoa. The videos will be 1.5 to 2 minutes in length to raise awareness about various causes. Groups will pick their own topics.
Business Concepts
We will continue working on the checking packets this week. The earliest the packets will be due is this Thursday. If I don't feel that is enough time for students to finish, I will push the due date back to next Monday. I'm going to play it by ear. We will continue working on them in class each day. I'm planning on having a test over this chapter next week.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.

Week of April 13
Hi everyone,
Finally, a normal week. I'm sure the students are as happy as I am to be finished with testing for the year. Here is what I have planned for this week:
Computers 2
Students will continue to use the website Canva. They will finish the website tutorials started last week and begin creating advertisements for a business of their choice.
Business Concepts
We will go over the reading guides completed last week. These will be used for the notes and the study guides for this chapter. Students will be completing checking packets provided by First National Bank. Packets will be completed in class and cannot be taken home. Finished packets are worth 150 points (equivalent to three tests). Students will also receive participation points for working in class. Each day, both a pencil and a pen (blue or black) needs to be brought to class while we are working on the packets. We will work on these this week and next week. A due date has not yet been set.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of April 6
Hi everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed spring break. We are now in the final stretch before summer break. This week is going to be a bit different. Because I teach in the largest computer lab in the school, my room will be used for testing this week.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, I will be proctoring the Aspire test for freshmen and sophomores in my room. My students will sit in the gym on these days with a substitute. On Thursday, I will be proctoring the test at the junior high, but students will be able to use my room. On Friday, I will be out for a doctor's appointment. Here is what I have planned for Thursday and Friday with the substitute:
Computers 2
Students will be using a website called Canva to make a variety of publications. This week they will be completing tutorials to see exactly how the program works.
Business Concepts
On Thursday and Friday students will use the textbooks to complete a reading guide for chapter 6 over checking accounts. This reading guide will be their notes and study guides for this chapter. These study guides will be due at the end of the hour on Friday.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of March 9
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.
