Week Seventeen

This Week


My apologies for missing the last update for the two-day week we had, but time has flown by! This week students are working hard on their final project, which is the Local Podcast Project. Students have one more week to work on this project, and it is going to be a tough deadline to meet, so please encourage your son or daughter to do whatever they need to do over the weekend and for homework to get this assignment done by the due date next Friday!

Also, today students took a pop quiz... be sure to ask them about it. It was only one question, and it's probably the most valuable lesson they will learn during the class!

Upcoming Week


This upcoming week is also the last week for the Stock Market Simulation and it looks like I may be buying donuts for everyone after some of my investments took a nosedive! Below are the scores for the teams. Unfortunately my overall return on investment right now is -2.17%!

Everyone but Team 4 is beating me!

Sadly, the semester is rapidly drawing to a close. Be sure students are checking ProgressBook to see where their grades stand going into the final quarter. Also, there is a final (cumulative) exam, so students should start reviewing their notes now (as well as previous tests) to refresh their content knowledge.

Have a great weekend!
