This week was pretty good! I worked on quite a lot of coding challenges. What’s a coding challenge? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like. More detail is below! Anyway, I did a lot of math (calculus) and science (NVOL). I also did Spanish (Duolingo) and Brilliant (Brilliant). I also did some Big History on Khan Academy.








1. You are ONLY allowed ONE sprite.
2. That one sprite can only have one costume: the drawing costume. (most people leave this drawing costume blank)
3. The whole project has to have the pen extension installed.
4. The pen then has to draw everything which sometimes includes the background too.
5. (not exactly a rule) Pen projects usually have a lot of code, and if you’re planning on making one, you should have a basic understanding of some trigonometry, Pythagoras, and how to point toward an x, y position. Also, you should be comfortable with variables and lists.
This clicker game (work in progress) is a 100% pen project.

Hi Ethan,
Thanks for explaining a lot about what you’re doing in coding! I was also interested to see that you’re looking at AP Calculus and I see you’re coming along really well with Spanish. 45 new words in a week is a lot! We are indeed going to be in a difficult situation with our biosphere — in fact we already are and I hope we’re able to improve the situation soon! Have you taken a look at the Climate Change Learning Experience section of the SD Library?
Good luck with the Science test!
I’m keeping this response short as I’m working on your Year End Summary. You have only one more Observing for Learning to write this year, for week 35. If you like, instead of regular Observing for Learning you can share a couple of your biggest highlights of the year and a couple of plans you have for the summer.
Best,
Shannon
