Welcome back after the bonus vacation due to the blizzard!
Students in kindergarten and first grade have finished the first few lessons in Code.org. They have been using their knowledge of sequencing and direction to move the characters through the puzzles. They will next work on patterns and will learn about how loops work in programming.
Second graders are also solving puzzles in Code.org. They have learned how to spot a "bug" in a program and fix it so the program runs correctly. They have also learned about "persistence” and how important it is to make mistakes and learn from them. They will also start working with loops to repeat steps in a program.
Third grade students will begin this month coding music. They will take what they know about measures and beats from music class, and apply this knowledge using code. They will then move on to coding events where they use different keys to cause an action. So much fun!
Fourth grade students are in the middle of a unit on Variable and Data. They have learned all the elements in creating a game, including variables, events, environment, and sprites and will conclude the unit by creating their own game. They will have time in class to play and evaluate other students’ games as well.
The students are all so very busy!
Have a great month!
