Hi everyone,
Only three more weeks left in the fall semester. Here is what I have planned:
Computers 1
Students will continue working in Excel, using formulas and functions. No tests or outside homework.
Business Concepts
We will finish up chapter 18 this week. Study guides for sections 3 and 4 will be due on Wednesday. We will take a test over the chapter on Thursday. We will also start a movie this week called Maxed Out, about the credit card industry.
Business Law
On Wednesday, students will take a test over chapters 8 and 9. This will be the last chapter test of the semester. At the end of the week, we will watch a movie, either Twelve Angry Men or Inherit the Wind. There should be no outside homework.
That's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of November 26 - 30
Hi everyone,
We are in the home stretch; only four more weeks in this semester. Here is what I have scheduled for this week:
Computers 1
On Monday, students will complete their final reading guide over Excel project 2. The rest of the week they will work on creating worksheets involving the use of the average, maximum, and minimum functions. There will be no outside homework.
Business Concepts
This week, we will start a chapter over credit. We will discuss installment loans before moving onto credit cards. Students will look at a credit card statement and learn about the "minimum payment trap." There should be no outside homework.
Business Law
On Monday, students will complete yet another case brief. On Tuesday, we will start the next chapter over consideration. Again, students will analyze contract scenarios to determine if a contract exists. There should be no outside homework.
Have a great week!

Week of November 12 - 16
Hi everyone,
Here is the schedule for this week:
Computers 1
On Monday and Tuesday, students will work on their last worksheet for Excel - project 1. On Wednesday and Thursday, we will review and on Friday we will have a test over the chapter.
Business Concepts
Students will continue working on checking packets in class this week. I'm hoping to have them due this Friday but I want to see how everyone is progressing at the beginning of this week before I set a firm date. If they are not due this Friday, they will be due the following Monday. This Friday I'm also hoping to have a test over checking accounts.
Business Law
This week the content in this class shifts gears a bit. From now until the end of the semester, we will be discussing contract law. There should be no outside homework for this chapter other than study guides.
That's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of November 5 - 9
Hi everyone,
Here is the schedule for the upcoming week. Things might get switched around a bit because of freshman and sophomore testing this week, but here is the overall plan.
Computers 1
On Monday and Tuesday, students will work on the reading guide for the first Excel project. For the rest of the week, they will work on creating their third Excel worksheet.
Business Concepts
Students will be working on checking packets all week. These packets are worth 150 points (about 3 tests worth) and will be completed entirely in class. We are still working through an example month together, but later in the week students will begin to work independently.
Business Law
Making movies last week took a bit longer than I planned, but they were worth the wait. The students did a great job. We will watch A Civil Action at the beginning of the week and then write response essays in class later in the week.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of October 29 - November 2
Hi everyone,
Here is the schedule for the upcoming week:
Computers 1
On Monday, we will review the chapter over business letters. On Tuesday, we will take a test over the chapter. Wednesday - Friday will be spent introducing Excel and beginning the first project using the program. Most students tend to prefer the Excel activities and I usually see higher grades on Excel assignments than on Word assignments.
Business Concepts
On Monday, students will complete their individual budgets and we will review the chapter over budgeting. On Tuesday, we will take a test over the chapter and I will collect notes. On Wednesday and Thursday, students will complete a reading guide over chapter 17 about checking accounts. On Friday, we will introduce the checking account packets that students will be completing over the next couple of weeks. I'll provide more information about the packets next week. There should not be any outside homework.
Business Law
On Monday, students will edit the tort videos that they filmed last week. On Tuesday, we will review the chapter over civil law and on Wednesday, we will take a test over the chapter and I will collect notes. On Thursday, we will start watching the movie A Civil Action. Students will write a response essay after we finish the movie.
I think that's it for this week. I'd like to invite everyone to the VCHS talent show on Friday night. It is at 7 p.m. in the high school gym. Hope to see you there!

Week of October 22 - 26
Hi everyone,
This is the first week of the second quarter and it is a four-day week. Here is what I have planned:
Computers 1
Students will complete a reading guide over the business letters chapter. Later in the week, they will type their last business letter project. We will have a test over this chapter some time next week.
Business Concepts
We all survived the taxes chapter! It is usually the most difficult. Now, we are on to budgeting. This is a short, but important chapter. Study guides over the chapter will be due on Thursday. Everything else will be completed in class.
Business Law
We will continue the chapter over civil law and torts this week. Study guides over the chapter will be due on Thursday. Everything else will be completed in class.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!
