RV Computer Science, Robotics, Science, and ELD Week 11/12 - 15/2024

  Hello Everyone!

What a week!  I hope all of you and your families are ok.  I know of at least one teacher at Rio Mesa who lost his family's home in the Mountain fire.  Very tragic.  

It is ok to not fully understand what happened in the Mountain Fires.  It all happened so quickly.  Here is a 12-minute video explaining why wind-driven fires are so dangerous.

Padlet to answer questions about the Fire Video

Reminder, no candy in class.  If you choose to eat it outside, please throw your trash in the trash cans.

Trimester 1 is ending soon, November 15.  Make sure you are turning in any late work before the 14 for all of my classes.

Make it a wonderful week as we head closer to Thanksgiving.
