Hi everyone,
This is the last week of the first quarter, so it is crunch-time to get grades up. I have been grading this weekend. I will input the grades tomorrow and post grades on here sometime tomorrow afternoon. Here is the schedule for the upcoming week:
Computers 1
On Monday, we will review and on Tuesday, we will take a test over Word - Project 3. There will be a written portion and a production portion. On Wednesday, we will begin with the first project in Excel.
Business Concepts 1
On Monday, we will review and on Tuesday, we will take a test over taxes. I will also collect notes that day. Wednesday will be an "end of taxes free day" because this chapter is the most difficult that we cover all semester. On Thursday and Friday we will be starting the next chapter which is about budgeting.
Business Math
On Monday, we will cover section 3.5. On Tuesday and Wednesday we will review these sections and then on Thursday take a test over them. On Friday, we will begin covering section 3.6.
Business Law
On Monday, students will be working on their criminal trial projects. I'm hoping to start presentations on Tuesday, but we will see if the students are ready. If not, we will postpone them a couple of days. If the presentations happen earlier in the week, we will begin covering civil law later in the week. There will be no outside homework this week.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.

Week of October 10 - 14
I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. Here is the schedule for the upcoming four day week.
Computers 1
We will continue creating resumes and cover letters. No test this week.
Business Concepts
Study guides 1 & 2 are due on Tuesday at the beginning of class. We will continue working on tax activities for the remainder of the week. Study guides 3 & 4 will be due on Friday. There should not be any other outside homework.
Business Math
We will begin covering sections 1 through 5 of chapter 3, over checking accounts. There will be daily homework, but no test this week.
Business Law
Students will begin working on group projects about famous criminal trials. The project includes a paper, Powerpoint and group presentation. We will work on these all week and hopefully will begin presentations early next week. If students use their time wisely, they should be able to finish everything in class.
I think that's it for this week. We only have this week and next until the end of the 1st quarter. It's time for the final push to get grades up.

Week of September 26 - 30
Hi everyone,
This week we have parent/teacher conferences on Thursday evening and on Friday afternoon. I hope to meet you there. Here is the schedule for upcoming week:
Computers 1
On Monday, we will review and on Tuesday we will take a test over Word - Project 2. There will be a written and a production portion on the test. On Wednesday and Thursday we will work on the reading guide for Word -Project 3 over resumes and cover letters. On Friday, I hope to start working through the first resume and cover letter together.
Business Concepts
On Monday and Tuesday a representative from Land of Lincoln Credit Union is doing a mini-workshop on financial literacy. This is the first time I have done this and I hope it is valuable for the students. On Wednesday, we will review for the chapter 9 test and on Thursday we will take the test and I will collect notes. As I will not see both business concepts classes on Friday, 4th hour will have a study hall that day.
Business Math
We will cover sections 4.4-4.6 Monday - Wednesday. I'm hoping to have a quiz over the sections on Thursday, but we will see if everyone is ready. These sections tend to go much more smoothly than the first three dealing with income taxes.
Business Law
We will continue taking notes over chapter 4 this week. There should not be outside homework this week. Chapter 4 study guides will be due on Monday, October 3.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one and I hope to see you at conferences!
