Class Announcements:
10/09 Already a third of the way done with the semester! Now that you have a good grasp on the expectation of our career course, I'm looking for everyone to step it up this next six weeks. We'll be completing our communication unit & then moving into safety practices. I've seen a lot of you stepping up recently, getting more involved in class and helping out your peers (ultimately a primary goal for all students). Please continue to build relationships, fine tune your organization skills, and step up personal responsibility. <3 T
10/01 Just a reminder that grade reports come out a week from TODAY! Please make sure you're getting all your missing assignments in before Friday to ensure you're passing. Tutoring M/T/W/R during lunch! <3 T 09/21 We're nearing the end of Unit 1 & will be talking about insurance this upcoming week. This tends to be a challenging lesson, so please ask a lot of questions & it'll be a learning experience for us all. Great job this week, if you missed Friday you'll need to make up a really important assignment. Don't forget to thank the adults in your life for fitting your bills and supporting you :) <3 T 09/07 I hope everyone learned a lot this week about going to college and career readiness! We will continue with this next week, with our "Round Table" presentations on Tuesday. Don't forget Progress Reports come out on Thursday, & I'm still missing things from some of you. <3 T 08/31 What a great first week! I'm so proud of everyone's participation in class and your dedication to making your education a priority. Please enjoy the 3-day weekend, and I'll see you all back on Tuesday! <3 T 08/27 We're changing things up this year, & since this is a technology class, we'll be tracking our progress throughout the semester on this website. Please check in frequently to make sure you have the latest updates. You'll be able to download absent work and view presentations, I've included a link to email myself (Ms. Thieman), as well as a blog where you can have an open discussion with your classmates about any course content questions or other opportunities you'd like to share. |
