What's Going On? April 22nd through April 26th

Aspire Testing

The rest of the week will be disrupted by "Aspire" testing.  Freshmen will be broken into two groups. Most students with the last names A-K will test in the morning Tuesday through Thursday.  Students with the last names L-Z will test in the afternoon Tuesday-Wednesday.



Spirit Week

This week, we will have a spirit week with an assembly on Friday.  Here are the dress up days:




App Development 1

This week, we will finish up our "Gesture Recognizer Demo" to show how we can use tap gestures and pan gestures to interact with our app.  Once this is complete, we will participate in our formative hackwich "Fizz Buzz" in order to practice conditionals and interacting with results calculated in our app.  This will set us up for our end-of-unit-app-challenge, "Tip Calculator". 





App Development 2

This week, students will be working on our last teacher-directed app for the year.  Students will be creating the classic "Breakout" game where a ball bounces off a paddle in order to "break" a block barrier.  Students will be using SpriteKit to create the game and use Physics to define interactions in the game world.







AP Computer Science A

This week, students will work on finishing up our programming project #9 and our summative lab, "Elevens".  Students will have their summative assessment for unit 9 toward the end of this week.  For this unit, students should be prepared to demonstrate their knowledge of recursion, searching, and sorting.







Programming the Web 1

We will start off the week by completing our unit 9 multiple choice review questions.  After this, we will dive into unit 10 where we will talk about negative margins and how to rearrange the look of our page strictly through the CSS file.  Along with this week, students will have our chapter reading, the reading guide, our lesson 10 review questions, and our web assignment 10A and 10B.  Students who need additional lab time are invited to come in before school to get caught up.
