The last two weeks have been a little crazy with having 4 snow days! I hope everyone was able to get some rest and maybe even play in the snow. Our weather here in Michigan can sometimes be a bit detrimental to the education process, but we make the best out of it. My econ students just took their unit 2 test yesterday. There ended up being a week delay on it with everything going on. The classes did well, especially considering how much we were in and out of school! These tests had an essay with them and I always let the students know it takes about a week to get them graded and back to them. We are now starting with business structures and organizations. The students will take the unit 3 test right before spring break, which really is not that far away. One of the reasons this unit takes a large amount of time is because the students are just starting a project today that will be turned in on Wednesday March 16th. They have to create a children's book using some of the key economic terms they have already learned this semester.
In social issues we have been talking about health care for the last two weeks and will continue to for about another week. After that we will be moving on to crime and punishment. So many of the topics we discuss in this class are being discussed right now in the political arena with the election coming up in November. It is a really great time to have this class.
Next week we have parent teacher conferences. I have every intention of being there, but it is possible that I wont be there due to my pregnancy. I am 34 weeks along today and with twins, 50% of all twins are born before 36 weeks. I have no indication that I will go early, but just as a heads up I wanted to let you know. If you wanted to talk to me about your student please feel free to e-mail me.
