Berkley Community School

Here is what’s happening in the computer lab in December!

 

This year’s Hour of Code event begins on December 8, 2025! We will start a little early on December 3, to accommodate our rotating schedule. This is a global event where students of all ages are invited to participate in a computer science or coding activity for one hour. All of the students at Berkley Community School will participate in a coding activity during their computer class time. They will choose from a choice board of activities that they will access through Clever. The Hour of Code Website is also accessible through Clever, and most of the activities can be done at home as well.

 

In other news…

Later this month Kindergarten and Grade 1 students will be treated to a winter activity library where they can listen to stories and play winter games. All libraries are accessible below by clicking on “Mrs. DiMascio’s libraries.

 

Second graders continue to complete activities that build up their typing skills. After Hour of Code week, second graders will be using a Word Cloud tool to create a holiday word cloud. Look for these to come home before vacation.

 

Third grade students will be learning about the hardware and software that make up a computer system.

 

Fourth grade students will learn about all the components of a computer system and how they come together to make a computer work. 

 

There will also be some fun “Googley” activities in all the Google classrooms (2nd, 3rd, & 4th) that they may do over vacation if they like.

 

Have a wonderful holiday season!
