(mostly) weekly: 5

Welcome

Look below for details about your student’s class this week.

Entrepreneurship

This week is about recognizing opportunities (and the difference between opportunities and “ideas”). There’s also a quiz this week on Thursday.

Economics

First we studied career choices, then how to apply for a job. Over the weekend they (hopefully!) recorded a video interview. Now we move on to pay stubs and the W4 form. We also talk about the role of “Incentives” in economics.

AP Computer Science Principles

Students will present to the class what they learned reading “Blown to Bits”. Also this week we’ll learn what it means that computers “do everything in ones and zeros”, they’ll count in binary and learn how it differs from the familiar “decimal” system.

Business Communications

They continue with practice on “business writing style”, focusing on writing with “Courtesy, clarity, and conciseness”.

Middle School Tech

They are rocking through their Google Docs lessons. This bunch is generally hard-working and eager to learn.
