Assignment #14- continued- Programming with Karel
Today, you should be continuing the first section of codehs- Programming with Karel. If you are not most of the way through section 1 by the end of class today, then you are technically behind. We will be starting something new on Wednesday.
You need to be working on the assigned work during this class. Those that fall behind do so generally because they do not use class time wisely. This is not a talking class. If you are behind, then you need to get caught up. This means getting work done outside of class (homework) or being required to stay after school to finish your work.
