I would strongly recommend completing the “Diagnostic Test” and “Full Length Practice Exam” at some point, as we won’t have time to complete these items in class.

AP Computer Science Principles:

• https://studio.code.org/home-While class was in session, you should have completed Lessons 1-14 and 16 on Unit 5.  If you did not, you need to do so. I opened Lessons 15 and 17 as well--if you would like to try these out, I think you’ll find the topics interesting.  It is not a requirement to complete these lessons.
• You can make up any activities in PowerSchool that are out of 2 points, if you did not earn full credit.  Please email me at herekr@gowcs.net when you complete these activities.

• https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZRx_vnMNR3Aro8MR8mjFAw8Rr3zG0CTz8C5fU4WKA9s/export?format=pdf  This is a link to the Create Task Survival Guide--it’s not a bad idea to browse through this document to get an idea of what we’ll be working on next in class.

MSA Research:

• Perform any edits to your Research Proposal that I suggested previously.  
• Update your methodology to reflect what you actually did rather than what you thought you were going to do.  
• Determine which significance tests you will perform on your data.  Possibilities include: 2-sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U-Test (non-parametric version of 2-sample t-test), Matched Pairs t-test, Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test (non-parametric version of Matched Pairs t-test).  Almost everyone will use one of these. Here are some links on those.

Here are the CDC 's suggestions for protecting your mental health:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/managing-stress-anxiety.html

• Limiting exposure to the news (only 30 minutes to 1 hour a day). If your child is especially anxious about the news, have them avoid it during this time. 
• Keeping a clear routine: For example, still enforcing bed and wake up times, having scheduled academic times for kids, scheduled chores
• Going outside 
• Limiting screen time: For ex., having two hours where students are expected to read, go outside, play with non-electronic toys 
• Staying connected with friends and loved ones through technology
• Focus on what you can control instead of what you can't: For example, we can't control the world right now but we can control how we treat others, what we wear, what we eat, what we say to others, etc 
• Exercise & eat healthily 
• Organized family time: For example, game night, movie night, cooking together, going for a walk, etc 
• Using this time to do things you have always wanted to do, but have never had the time to: clean, pick up a hobby, finish a read, etc
