On Thursday, you started work on a project to graph baby name popularity based on Social Security Administration data.  This is a challenging project combining all you’ve learned — file reading, loops, functions, variables, type, user input… wow!  I know it’s hard but hopefully you’re seeing how all the pieces work together and feeling satisfaction at how far we’ve come along.  Being able to read in and process external data sources is both highly creative and extremely useful.  I hope you’re thinking about some of the possibilities that would be relevant to you and that you might be interested in pursuing for an open-ended project.

When I returned from the (interesting and eye-opening conference) I attended, the first thing I did was go straight to your progress reports.  It’s nerve-wracking to be out, especially for our first big program, but I was really pleased by what I read from you guys.  It sounds like the difficulty level is right and that you’re making a lot of progress.  Don’t worry, I want this to be a good experience for everyone, so we’ll have more time on it.  I’m excited to be back and to see all that you have done!
