Last week was Computer Science Education Week. Students were encouraged to spend an hour learning how to write code in order to program a computer. Our students worked for an hour practicing code by learning basic move forward commands and then more complex repeat, and if-then commands. The children had so much fun progressing to more challenging levels. They received immediate feedback to show how their programs worked and then had the opportunity to make changes. To learn more about the goals of "Hour of Code," please see the first link. For your child to continue to play with code, click on the 2nd link. There are 20 problems to solve with code and many more areas to explore.
