 Throughout this program, you will be asked to complete some activities during **lab time** (typically in the afternoon after lessons).  
 
 Lab time will include activities that are designed to:  
-    * reinforce the information that you have learned so far,  
-    * present new information for you to explore with minimal instructor input,  
-    * and, prepare you for upcoming lessons.

 Much of your future work as developers will include doing some independent learning and exploration, so it's a good idea to start practicing this habit now!

 ### Practice
 
 With your group, discuss your answers to the Checks for Understanding from the [Intro To Programming Lesson](/module1/lessons/Week1/introToProgramming#check-for-understanding).  To get the ball rolling, you can start with these prompts and sentence starters:  
-    * When I described programming, I said that...  
-    * I didn't quite understand...  
-    * Let's discuss any differences in our diagrams.

 As you review and discuss, make note of any lingering questions you may have, or of interesting discoveries you make! We will be coming together as a large group to share out before moving on to the next part of the lab.
 
-### Preparation
-
-Tomorrow, we will be discussing one of the most important fundamentals of programming, Datatypes and Variables. To prepare for that lesson, watch the video linked below, and discuss the check for understanding question with your group.
