Week of November 14 - 18

Hi everyone,

The school will be sending out progress reports at the beginning of this week. So, I will not be posting grades. I will be at a doctor's appointment Monday and at a workshop on Tuesday, so this week's schedule may change a bit, if all does not goes as planned with the substitute.

Here is the approximate schedule for the week:

Computers 1
Students will continue working on Excel - Project 2 activities. There will be no test this week.

Business Concepts 1
Students will work on checking packets on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, I will answer any questions they may have encountered while I was gone. Students will be able to take their packets home and they will be due on Thursday. Most students will have finished everything in class. On Wednesday and Thursday, we will review the chapter and on Friday, we will have a test over checking accounts.

Business Math
Students will work on review assignments this week. Worksheet packets are due at the end of the hour on Monday, and Monday's book assignment is due at the end of the hour on Tuesday. There will also be an extra credit assignment offered on Tuesday. I'm planning to have a test over sections 1-4 of chapter 4 on Thursday.

Business Law
Students will complete a writing assignment over the movie A Civil Action on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will start chapter 6, which introduces contract law. There will not be any outside homework this week.

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

We will work on checking packets all this week. Students need to bring a pencil and a blue/black ink pen every day to receive all their participation points. There will be no outside homework.

Business Math
On Monday, students will complete an open book quiz over sections 1-3 in chapter 4. On Tuesday, we will cover section 4.4. On Wednesday and Thursday, we will complete worksheets over these four sections.

Business Law
We will watch the movie A Civil Action on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will start discussing contract law. On Thursday, many students will be out of class (along with myself) for talent show practice. That day will be a study hall for the students not participating.

That's it for this week. Have a good one.
