**Scratch Update 3:**
I have completed the programming for the talking sprite, each GIF, and parts of the click and drag portion at the end of the game. I still need to animate the formation of calcium chloride ions and the formation of their ionic bonds, as well as programming for the calcium atom and the chlorine atoms that will combine with it.

**Scratch Project 2:**
I plan to teach about atoms and ionic bonds for science. It will teach about the parts of an atom and how ionic bonds are formed. The user will be able to drag atoms together to form ionic bonds, and will be able to click on each part of an atom to learn about it.

**Scratch Journal 2:**
The goal of my project is to teach the parts of an atom and how ionic bonds are formed. Today, I will be working on the programming for the click-and-drag part of my game, as well as the music for my game. One current challenge is programming each portion of information to play for the right amount of time and putting together coding for clicking and dragging atoms together to form ionic bonds between them. The most interesting thing I have learned is that ions are formed when an electron from an incomplete electron shell is taken to complete another atom's electron shell. I am using math in my wait commands and in my animation codes.

**Sketchup Plan:**
I am building 25 buildings in total. 4 are school buildings, one for each subject (math, science, language arts, etc). The other 18 are dormitories for students. The school buildings will have desks and whiteboards, and the dorms have a bed a desk, and bookshelves. There is also a student store, where food and drink can be purchased. Students may also work at the mall or a library.

The dimensions for each school building are: Length: 85' 4 3/16" Width: 85' 4 3/16" Height: 49' 4 7/16" Square feet: ~7226 ft^2

The dimensions for each dorm building are: Length: 43' 10 15/16" Width: 33' 9 11/16" Height: 62' 8 1/8" Square feet: ~1419 ft^2

The dimensions for the student store are: Length: 42' 6 1/4" Width: 36' 8 1/8" Height: 28' 4 3/8" Square feet: ~1512 ft^2

The dimensions for the mall are: Length: 100' 4 3/4" Width: 50' 6 1/2' Height: 48 ' 10 1/4" Square feet: ~5000 ft^2

The dimensions for the library are: Length: 48' 6 10/16" Width: 26' 2 6/16" Height: 34' 8 2/16" Square feet: ~1248 ft^2

Sketchup School:
I interact with computers when I write stories, play games, watch videos on YouTube, draw with Photoshop or Paint Tool SAI, use a calculator, program websites, do assignments, downloading music/games, and communicate with friends around the world.

Scratch Plan 1:
I am going to make a program where the objective is to rescue the main character's friend from the enemies who have captured her. The main character moves with the arrow keys (up, down, left, right). The main character has to move around a maze in order to find her friend. A timer will count down how much time is left to save your friend. If you make it in time, a dialogue scene will take place, and at the end, the screen will say "You won!" If you don't, when you reach the end of the maze, you will only find a piece of jewelry that you gave your friend and a fuchsia puddle. A screen will then say "You were too late... Would you like to try again?" and give an option to restart the program.

Scratch Journal 1:
Today, I will be working on two dialogue scenes: one at the beginning, before you enter the maze, and the one at the end of the game, when you win. I might need help with setting up code in order to transition from the first dialogue scene to the game, as well as the code to smoothly transition from background to background in the maze. The most interesting thing I have learned is that in Scratch, you can create and program anything you want. I use math in my project when I program the dialogue scenes and to create the maze boundaries.
