Students are continuing to work on museum projects this week. This will be the last grade of the quarter. I really like what I am seeing so far!

Week of March 7-11

Hi everyone,

I'm grading tests this weekend and will have new grades posted sometime on Monday evening. The end of the 3rd quarter is on March 18. It was moved back because of all the snow days. Here is the schedule for this week:

Business Concepts
The taxes chapter took an extra day than I planned for, so we will have our end-of-taxes free day on Monday. Tuesday we will begin a chapter on budgeting. It is very short so the two-page study guide will be due on Friday at the beginning of class. All other work will be completed in class. I am planning on a test over the chapter on Tuesday, March 15.

Business Math
We will begin covering the sections in chapter 7 on Monday. There will be daily homework. I'm planning on a quiz over sections 1-3 on Tuesday, March 15.

Students will work on their museum projects all week. I think they are doing a great job and I love all the creativity that I've seen so far.

I think that's it for this week. I will get the grades posted ASAP.

Week of February 21-25

Hi everyone,

Here are the grades for this week:














We have a few weeks left in the third quarter. I honestly don't know the actual last day. It was pushed back due to the snow days. But, it is getting close and it's really time to start that final push to improve grades.

Here is the schedule for this week:

Business Concepts
All classes will take a test over chapter 9 (careers) on Monday. I will also collect notes that day. On Tuesday, we will start a chapter on taxes. Students will learn how to fill out a 1040EZ. This is a great time to be covering taxes with income tax day looming and many students with part-time jobs. There should be no outside homework this week.

Business Math
We will begin covering sections 5-8 of chapter 6. There will be homework assigned each day.

We are covering AP elements and behaviors. Students will create their own webpage with these elements. The store projects were finished last week and I was very impressed with all of the creativity!

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

Here is the schedule for the upcoming week:


Business Concepts
On Friday, we started career research. We will work on this all day on Monday. Study guides 9.1 and 9.2 will be due on Tuesday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we will take notes over sections 9.3 and 9.4. These study guides will be due on Thursday. On Thursday, we will review and on Friday, we will take a test over chapter 9. I will also collect notes that day.

Due to the freshmen and sophomore tests planned for Wednesday and Thursday, this schedule may be slightly different for 9th hour business concepts, with notes being taken on Monday and Tuesday, career research on Wednesday/Thursday, review on Friday, and the test on Monday. I'm not sure how many kids this will affect that hour, so I'm going to be flexible.


Business Math
On Monday, we will complete a worksheet over section 6.4. On Tuesday, we will review and on Wednesday, we will have a test over sections 1-4 of chapter 6. On Thursday and Friday we will work on the reading guides for the remaining sections of chapter 6.

This week, we will start project 6 in Dreamweaver, over AP elements. All work will be completed in class.

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