Agenda, Monday 4/26

I have set the banquet for May 18th at 6:30 pm at Ramos' in Manor. We will do invitations ASAP.
Start talking to your employers about it and ask off for that evening.

NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE BETTER SAY A CURSE WORD IN MY CLASSROOM FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR AND YOU BETTER BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR FOR THE SUB TODAY. YOU WILL BE SORRY IF I HEAR ANYTHING NEGATIVE LIKE I HEARD ON FRIDAY. YALL ARE ALL BETTER THAN THAT.

Warm-up:
* update your time sheet. (I DON'T HAVE ANY. If they aren't in your folder, then check your mail box.) (TURN YOUR TIME SHEET IN TO THE TURN IN TRAY TODAY! IT'S DUE TODAY AND WILL BE POINTS OFF IF IT ISN'T IN THERE WHEN I GET TO SCHOOL TUESDAY MORNING.)
* make copies of your pay check stubs
* update your yellow pay check stub sheet
* Post this weeks work schedule on your blog (Work Week #32 should be the title)
REMEMBER: you must type the Day of the Week, The Date (4/26/10) of each day of week and then list what you work each day. Remember if you don't know your schedule, be sure to post and tell me when you will find it out. Or if you are unemployed you need to be telling me where you plan to go this week to inquire about a job.
THIS IS STILL A WEEKLY GRADE WHETHER YOU ARE EMPLOYED OR NOT.

CLASS TIME:
1. EVERYONE - needs to check their mail box
* In your boxes you will find several things:
  • Golden yellow Packet of worksheets I want you to complete today. (Some of the items you are doing in this packet are review items. Always something good to do. Others you may need to reach down in your memories and recall how to do it. They are pretty quick. There is less to do then it looks like at first glance. These activities are practical application activities, things you need to know for sure to live on your own or to know in order to be a good working member of society. THESE MUST BE TURNED IN BY THE END OF THE PERIOD TODAY.
  • In case you didn't complete on Friday:--> Bonus assignment: blog post. Title--> What I have learned? Tell me everything that you have learned in this class. Be very specific, use complete sentences or make a bulleted list. What are some things that you will walk away from here having learned from Mrs. Crownover.
  • IF you get done and turn the packet in before the end of the period, any extra time you have, you have my permission to play games on the computer. Please stay off your phones.) BE SURE TO TURN THE ENTIRE PACKET IN.
    I will see you next Monday. If you run in to any problems this week, pleae call me. Seniors not testing make good use of your time. Testers, good luck.

IF YOU DIDN'T TURN IN YOUR GREEN PACKET ON FRIDAY, YOU BETTER HAVE IT TURNED IN TODAY. IF YOU DON'T GET THIS GOLDEN PACKET DONE TODAY DURING CLASS, YOU BETTER GET IT AND TURN IT IN TO MR. KRAUSE f204 OR MS. SIMMONS f205. DON'T SLIDE IT UNDER MY DOOR THE CUSTODIANS MIGHT THROW IT AWAY. OR YOU CAN BRING IT TO ME LATER IN THE WEEK, JUST REMEMBER TO DO SO.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
