What's Going On? October 23rd through October 25th

 Thought for the Week








Modified Schedule This Week

This week, we will have school Monday-Wednesday, with Wednesday as an early release day.  On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we will see all eight classes.








App Development

During this shortened week, after their study on buttons, students will dive into "text fields".  This element will help us to get input from the user.  We will take a look at how to access text entered into the text field by the user.  We will also learn how to work with that accessed text and make decisions within our program.  We will also learn how to access numerical values entered by the user and do some mathematical calculations.


AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will continue their work with Activity 1.2.1: Catch a Turtle.  For this project, students will start to think about game elements associated with a project.  Last week, we created our turtle objects and completed some of the setup.  This week, we will get the turtle to "jump" around the screen and add a scoring element.  With this project, students will be introduced to the concept of "functions".
