This week we finished the book Holes by Louis Sachar, after we watched the movie Holes. It was fun since we brought chips, popcorn, juice and other snacks. The movie was different and we had fun comparing the book from the story. We also did a synthesis comparing Holes and "The Wall" from Pink Floyd.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUASiDg-kg4

Robotics

This week we learned how to create programs for a robot. In the last month, a team had built the robots, and now everybody in the class gets to make a program. You can make the robot go forward, turn each side, make sounds, say words, and there are lots of other cool functions. I think everybody is really excited about the robot programs.
