Week of September 12 - 16
Hi everyone,
Here's the schedule for the upcoming week:
Computers 1
We will begin typing reports in MLA format using the Word tools designed for this purpose. Students do not have to actually write their own reports. Instead, they type the reports given and learn how to use the tools. Hopefully this will be a help with English papers.
Business Concepts
On Monday, the study guides for sections 15.1 and 15.2 are due and we will take notes over section 15.3. On Tuesday, study guide 15.3 is due and we will review the chapter. On Wednesday, we will take a test over chapter 15 and I will collect chapter notes. Students will have all study guides by the end of the hour on Tuesday so that they can study. On Thursday and Friday, we will begin chapter 9 about careers and finding a job.
Business Math
On Monday, students will complete the reading guide for chapter 2, sections 1-3. For the remainder of the week, we will cover these three sections. This chapter is a bit long, so I have divided it into two parts. There will be daily homework but no test this week.
Business Law
On Monday and Tuesday, students will create Powerpoints covering the main points of section 2.3 in the textbook. The section covers the sticky topic of jurisdiction in a technology-driven world. Wednesday-Friday we will begin covering chapter 3 about the court system. There should not be any outside homework this week.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of August 29 - September 2
Hi everyone,
Well, we made it through the first week. We have one more week of 2:15 dismissals before we are on the regular schedule. Right now, the afternoon classes seem pretty rushed but hopefully after this week, students will have more opportunity to complete work in class and ask questions, if needed.
I don't have any grades to post this week. I am doing grading this weekend and will post the first set of grades next weekend. They will be posted by student ID number. If you need your child's ID number, please feel free to e-mail me.
Here is the planned schedule for the upcoming week. Each week I post what I hope to accomplish during the next week. But, sometimes things go more slowly or more quickly than what I had planned. If you need more specific information about anything, don't hesitate to contact me.
Computers I
We will continue creating flyers in class. Students will complete flyers in the textbook and towards the end of the week will design a flyer for events of their choice. There will not be outside homework for this class as all textbooks stay in the room and I don't expect students to have the necessary software at home. The only outside work would be studying for tests.
Business Concepts
On Monday, all chapter 1 study guides are due. We will grade these in class on Monday and review. On Tuesday, we will take a test over chapter 1 and I will collect chapter notes. On Wednesday, we will begin chapter 15 about consumer protection. There should not be any additional outside homework.
Business Math
After a week of review, we will begin covering the sections in chapter 1. I hope to cover a section a day and there will be daily homework problems. With the shortened class periods, it is likely that many students will need to take some work home.
Business Law
Last week we began chapter 1 about law basics. We have talked about a variety of current events as they relate to law. The class is doing a great job of participating and voicing opinions in a respectful way. I love teaching this class and I hope it will be a fun semester. On Monday and Tuesday, students will look at an actual court case about jurisdiction. On Wednesday and Thursday we will discuss ethics. Chapter study guides will be due on Friday.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.

A New School Year
Welcome to a new year at VCHS! Here on the blog I will be posting classroom activities, assignments, and tests as well as updated grades. Grades will be given by student number to maintain anonymity. This is our first full week of classes and it will involve introductions and getting used to the routine. There shouldn't be a great deal of outside work this first week. I'll post more specific information later.
