Week of April 15

This week may be the last "normal" week of school.  We do have a Late Start on Thursday, the last one for the month of April.  The next one will be May 2.  However, juniors will be taking the last TAKS test next week (April 22 - 25).  Everyone besides juniors is expected to continue with classes normally.  In the early weeks of May, many students will be involved in more STAAR testing and AP testing.

I don't expect to have any videos this week.  Everyone should be completed with the first state machine problem, and we will start the summative project this week.  You will create a state machine to operate a toll booth gate, so this will combine the logic of the state machine with hardware operation.  The combination will prove a difficult challenge, but one that can be conquered through the problem solving that we have practiced all year long.  I expect we will be working on this problem in to next week.  However, remember that the juniors in the class will miss all except for Friday next week with their final TAKS.

If you are attending the Dell Social Media field trip this Friday, be sure that you get the forms turned in first thing Monday and sign up on the form so that I have your contact and id information that is needed.
