After talking about each of those vocabulary words briefly we will continue with learning the symbol keys.  The good news is that today is the last day of learning the symbol keys - yaaayy!!

Today we will learn the = (R4), the _ (left shift + R4), and the * (left shift + R2).  After today we only have the keypad left to learn.  However, it takes a lot less time than learning either the letters, numbers, or symbols.

Today is the last of the vocab quizzes!  As usual you will be given time at the beginning of class to study - do not go to Classmarker until I tell you to do so.

As soon as you complete the quiz you may continue your work on the pizza menu.

We just started back to school on Tuesday. We watched the code.org video and had a class discussion about changes brought by computer science.

The fascinating thing is this group of teens is the last to remember BEFORE the internet.

Seriously, find a teenager and ask if they remember the first time they went online. My own 5th and 7th graders cant, the Internet has just always been there. My students, just a few years older can remember a before and after.

I am really intrigued by this.  Such an odd moment. 

So I am curious, when did you first go online?

This will be the last week that you will be allowed to work on the Internet Safety project.  It will be due at the end of the hour on Thursday.

Additionally we have another list of vocab words this week - list #5 (it is the first of 3 Internet lists).  As usual the vocab definitions need to be completed by Tuesday night and we will have our quiz on Friday.

Lastly, I have printed out new missing assignments lists - if you havent checked Skyward recently you may want to look at the new sheets posted on the wall.

THIS WEEK:

*Learn new keys:  symbols (last ones today!!)
*Formatting Activity  4
*Speed Test*Vocab quiz #5 (Vocab definitions on the wiki by Tuesday night)
*END OF THE QUARTER IS FRIDAY!!!!
*MISSING WORK!*

This will be an important week for several reasons, but mostly because we arent just going to sit here and wait until the end of the quarter arrives.  In other words we are still going to have assignments that we will be completing this week - if you dont get this weeks assignments done they will end up being permanent zeroes in the grade book (since this is the last week).  Therefore...work a little extra hard this week to make sure you get everything done - not just in this class but in all of your classes!

Warmup:
P. 43, 19A lines 1-3 once


P. 44, 19C lines 1-3 twice (= is R4)
P. 44, 19C lines 4-6 twice (_ is left shift key + R4)
P. 44 19D lines 1-3 twice (* is left shift key + R2)
