Rio Vista Computer Science, Robotics, Science, & ELD Week 5/5 -9/2025

 Hello Everyone!

This week, we will be getting our computers and ourselves ready for next week's CAASPP State Testing.  

You can prepare your device by following a few steps.

You can prepare yourself by teaching yourself to be calm, patient, and focused

We look at both this week and continue to work on our projects.

Make it a great week.

Here are your order of events today.

  1. Keyboarding  40 min this week - 10 minutes today
  2. Portfolios
    1. Many of you have not updated your portfolios.  I am only looking at the portfolios of Robotic engineers who have emailed me to tell me they have updated their portfolios.   I am still looking for 2 posts a week explaining what you have accomplished and what you are working on.
  3. Robotics
    1. Get on to your projects
      1. Lego Spike & VEX - Keep on with your projects
      2. Drones - You are working on Flight Plan 3. Make sure you look at the instructions located here
      3. Robotic Car - Keep building and get that thing running.  Start to understand how to program it and drive it.
      4. 3D Printing - start designing your first project

You should all be busy with your work.  If I get notes that people are playing games, walking around with no purpose, or just horsing around, after-school detentions will be given.  Please do not repeat the same mistake as before.  Let's do better today.

Rio Vista Computer Science, Robotics, Science, & ELD Week 4/21 - 25/2025

 Hello Everyone!

Welcome back!  I hope you were able to play and have some fun during your break.

Mine was inspirational, and I'm ready to finish up this school year together with you.

All classes have lot's to do before we hit June 12 so keep up with your work, get help from friends or your teachers, and stay positive about yourself and how much you are growing & changing.  

A reminder, state testing starts on May 12.  So get stoked, get pumped, and lock in to what you need to do academically and mentally to get yourself ready.
