Only 1 more week left, time really flies when you are having fun!

This week our 4th and 5th graders learned binary, ask to see their bracelets, while our 2nd and 3rd graders learned about loops and iterations.  

We are still looking for those stand out students who have worked hard all session, turned in their homework, and really excelled to win our grand prize next week.  Go to Edmodo and take a look at this week's homework, post your art on Edmodo to win a trip to the prize box and stay in the running for our grand prize! 

Shout out to Abbots Creek Elementary School, they are about to start their first coding club next month.  We are so excited for you, can't wait to see what you do! Check them out at http://acescodingclub.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

We had a great class this week.  Students worked on their coding lessons the whole time and made some great progress.  Ask them to show you what they have been working on! Go to  Edmodo to see some games the 4th and 5th grades have created.  You can post your own art work or games too, click HERE  and scroll down to the "Posting Artwork" section to find out how.

Homework is posted on Edmodo.  Make sure you electronically submit or print it, then bring it to class for a trip to the prize box.

Toys went home with students on Thursday, please make sure they are back at school Monday morning.  Listen to BTV Friday to see who won!

Log on an have some fun with code.org on your early release day tomorrow :)

Week 2 is under our belts!  
We worked on airplane algorithms, yes we really were learning not just throwing things.....


Today we worked with sequences and debugging.  Next week we will be spending more time on the computers, we'll learn about loops and  conditionals.  

If you haven't signed up for Edmodo, make sure you do before next week.  Homework is posted and you'll get a trip to our prize box if you turn yours in!

We will be announcing Sphero winners on BTV Friday morning so be listening.  

Keep working on your lessons at home!

What a great first day!!

We had a lot to fit in but we got it all done!  Today students learned about algorithms and created unplugged programs for a partner to follow.  We signed onto our code.org accounts and got started learning to program via drag and drop commands. 

Parents be on the look out for a LONG email with a list of information to get your student set up for the rest of our session.  Please make sure they create their Edmodo account and remind them to always log onto their code.org account when they play at home.

Homework is posted on Edmodo, remember to finish it and bring it next week to win a trip to our prize box.

Can't wait to see you all next week!
