Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the 1st week of April, no fooling!
Before we go on break, make sure you are caught up on all your assignments. I'm still working on finishing grading those assignments.
If we are productive on Monday - Wednesday, we can have a catch-up day on Thursday and Friday for all classes. That means you can work on anything you need to finish and others can have some R & R (rest and relaxation). We can even watch a movie. No April's fooling.
Thanks to the Rio Vista Robotics team for representing our school at the 1st Annual Battle of the Bots competition on Saturday. They did well and had some fun.

March Keyboarding Test - I did not do well this month on my keyboarding test. I believe it is because I have not been practicing regularly like I have done in the past. Both my wpm and my accuracy are down. I can feel it when I am typing. I'll put in some more focused practice later this week.
