What's Going On? November 19th and 20th

It's a short week!

This is a reminder that with the Thanksgiving holiday, students will only be in school on Monday and
Tuesday this week.  On Monday we will run our 8-period day schedule with AE (yellow day) and on Tuesday we will run our 8-period day schedule without AE (purple day).  Enjoy your Thanksgiving Break!




January Exam Schedule

For those of you who like to plan ahead, here is our exam schedule for January.  We will talk in detail about the exam as we get closer to the end of the semester.

App Development

This week, students will be finishing up their Tip Calculator Apps.  Students should complete their reflection forms and show off their working apps by the end of class on Monday.  Tuesday's class will include a code review for students to show off their products.






Programming the Web


During class on Monday, we will talk through our lesson 10 material on page layouts.  During class
on Tuesday, we will run through several methods that can be used to design the template for a website.  Students should have their reading guides for lesson 10 completed by Wednesday after Thanksgiving break.



AP Computer Science A

During class on Monday, we will review for our unit 5 summative assessment on conditional
statements.  Students will need to complete the summative review and Programming Project #5 by Tuesday in preparation for our summative.

We will complete our summative assessment on conditionals during class on Tuesday.  Students should expect to see 40 multiple choice questions in the style they will see for the AP exam.  Students will also have a free response section of the summative where they will need to write out Java code by hand to demonstrate their understanding of conditional statements.
