Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late post this week. This will be my last blog post for this school year.
A quick note about final exams: For business concepts 1 & 2, I pass back all chapter tests to be used as study guides. These tests must be returned to me the day of the final exam. If tests are not returned to me, the final exam will only be given 50% credit. Students are not required to take back their tests.
Here is the schedule for the next two weeks:
Business Concepts 1
Today, study guides for chapter 19 are due. Tomorrow, we will take a test over chapter 19 and I will collect notes. On Wednesday, students will do an online simulation using concepts they have learned this semester. On Thursday and Friday, they will make Powerpoints about the most important things they have learned this semester. Next week, we will watch a movie and then study for the final exam.
Business Concepts 2
This week we will be studying for the final exam and watching episodes of Shark Tank, a show about starting your own business. Next week, students will have some free time because without the seniors there aren't many students left.
Business Math
This week we will work on exam study guides together. On Friday, students will take the matching and multiple choice portion of their exam. Next Monday they will take the math problems portion. This class is all seniors so it is over as of next Monday.

This week will be be reviewing for the final and finishing up district web page projects. This class is also all seniors so it is over as of next Monday.
This year has gone by very quickly. I hope everyone has a relaxing summer!

Week of April 30 - May 4
Hi everyone,
Here is the schedule for this week. Some things were scheduled for last week that we didn't get to as planned, due to field trips and other end-of-year busyness.
Business Concepts 1
We will continue the movie at the beginning of the week. Tuesday, we will begin the last chapter, over savings options. There should not be any outside homework this week.
Business Concepts 2
We will finish notes for chapter 10 on Monday. Study guides are due at the end of the hour (this date was pushed back from a due date of Friday). We will take a test over the chapter on Wednesday and I will also collect notes. On Thursday and Friday, I'm hoping to have a short lesson over the stock market.
Business Math
On Monday and Tuesday, we will complete worksheets over sections 10.1 - 10.4 and take a test over those sections on Wednesday. On Thursday, we will start reviewing for the final exam.

On Monday, we will finish the Flash project started last week. On Tuesday, students will begin redesigning the webpage for the school district. The best design will be chosen by Mrs. Vieregge.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!
