Hour of Code

Hello! This week all students got a chance to practice coding. Stated simply, coding is writing directions to make something do something such as a computer, a robot, etc.. In the future, this will be a much needed skill and it is important to introduce it to our children early so they can become the "coders" of tomorrow. Students loved the chance to make the Angry Bird get the pig. Some even worked on having R2D2 help the Stormtroopers or worked on making Anna and Elsa spin. If your child wants to continue working with coding, here is a list of websites that they can practice on:
