Hi everyone,
This week we will have parent-teacher conferences all day on Friday. I would love to meet with any parents who are able to stop by for a visit.
I am grading this weekend and will post new grades here on Monday evening.
For now, here is the schedule for this week:
Business Concepts
Study guides 15.1 and 15.2 are due on Monday at the beginning of class. Study guide 15.3 is due on Tuesday at the beginning of class. On Monday, we will take notes over section 15.3 and learn how to write a complaint letter. On Tuesday, we will review chapter 15 and on Wednesday we will take a test over the chapter. I will also collect notes on that day. I'm not sure what I have planned for Thursday. Probably just a fun group activity, but with no homework involved :)
Business Math
We will start covering chapter 6, hopefully finishing a section each day. There will be daily homework problems.

Students will start creating a web site for a store that they create. They will use templates to create consistency throughout the site.
I think that's it for this week. I will get the grades posted tomorrow. Have a good one!

Week of January 24-28
Hi everyone,
Because of the snow days last week, I still have not been to school to put grades in the computer. I will do that tomorrow and post the grades here tomorrow evening. Here is the schedule for this week, assuming we actually get to have school!
Business concepts 1
We will discuss the identify theft Powerpoints created while I was gone last week. I will grade these and provide feedback. We will start taking notes over chapter 15, which covers consumer protection. There should not be any take home work this week.
Business math
We will review on Monday and take a test over chapter 5 on Tuesday. Wednesday-Friday we will begin covering chapter 6 and there will be daily homework.

We will begin covering the chapter over templates and students will work through the chapter in the book. Then, students will design a store of their choice using templates.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of January 17-21
Hi everyone,
Sorry for the later than usual blog post. I've been down with the flu this weekend and will probably not be at school tomorrow. I'm scheduled to attend a workshop on Wednesday, so the soonest I will have grades in the computer at school and posted on here will be Thursday afternoon. Again, I apologize for the delay.
Here is the schedule for this week:
Business concepts 1
On Tuesday and Wednesday, students will work with partners to create a PowerPoint on identity theft. On Thursday and Friday we will start taking notes over chapter 15. There should not be any outside homework this week.
Business math
On Tuesday, students will work on a review worksheet. On Wednesday, I'm hoping students will be able to use the Destination Math program to review some basic math concepts. On Thursday, we will go over review questions that were completed last Friday. On Friday, we will have a test over sections 1-4 of chapter 5.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, students will finish their community center forms. On Thursday and Friday, they will work on the parks template in the textbook.
I think that's all for this week. I will get grades posted on Thursday.

Week of January 10-14
Hi everyone,
Winter break seemed to fly by and the new semester has started already. With the exception of business math, all of my classes are starting anew with new groups of students. I don't have grades to post yet, but I will be posting them next weekend. For now, here is a schedule for the upcoming week:
Business Concepts 1 (3rd, 4th, and 9th hours)
We started chapter 1 last week, titled Consumers and the Economy. Study guides are due on Tuesday with the chapter test on Wednesday. Students will have their study guides returned before they leave class on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I will also collect chapter notes. On Thursday, we will start chapter 15 about making responsible buying decisions.
Business Math (6th hour)
We have started chapter 5 and it is going quickly. There will be daily homework Monday-Wednesday and I'm hoping to have a test over sections 1-4 on Friday.
Web Page 2 (7th hour)
We are working on project 4 in the textbook over forms this week. Students will be creating forms for a park district and a candle store. There will not be any take-home work for this class during the semester.
I think that's it for this week. Please feel free to call or e-mail me if you have any questions.

Week of December 13-17
Hi everyone,
This will be my last schedule post for the semester. I will post grades one last time on Monday, December 13. We will then have one full week left and then two days of final exams. Report cards will be sent home in early January, I believe.
Here is the schedule for this week:
Business Concepts 2
We will play the simulation game provided by Junior Achievement, JA Titan, Monday-Wednesday. The winning team each day will receive 5 extra points per person. On Thursday, we will correct tests from throughout the semester and on Friday we will continue reviewing for the final exam. The final exam will be comprised of test questions from previous tests. All questions will be multiple choice, matching, or true/false. There are no short answer questions.
Business Concepts 1
On Monday, we will take three slides of notes on mortgages and complete a worksheet about choosing a mortgage. Chapter 19 study guides will be due at the beginning of the hour on Tuesday. We will correct them in class and review for the quiz. On Wednesday, we will have a quiz over chapter 19 and I will collect chapter notes. On Thursday, we will correct tests from throughout the semester and on Friday we will continue reviewing for the final exam. The final exam will be comprised of test questions from previous tests. All questions will be multiple choice, matching, or true/false. There are no short answer questions.
Business Math
On Monday, I will assign an extra credit assignment. These problems will be due on Wednesday at the beginning of class. All week we will be reviewing for the final exam. Students received a study guide in class today and we will work through it together all week. The study guide will be checked for completion and is worth 40 points. The study guide was made directly from the final exam and includes everything necessary to do well on the exam.
Business Law
On Monday, we will take an open-note test over chapter 8. On Tuesday and Wednesday students will participate in mini-debates. On Thursday, we will correct tests from throughout the semester and on Friday we will continue reviewing for the final exam. The final exam will be comprised of test questions from previous tests. All questions will be multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank (with a word bank) or true/false. There are no short answer questions.
I think that does it for this semester. I will post grades on Monday. Happy holidays to everyone!
