17-18 Week 12

CogAT and Hour of Code

This week the STEM lab was unavailable for classes due to administration of the CogAT test. However, we did turn the computers on for Wednesday! Also our UIL One Act Play team went into intensive rehearsals with a run-through every day during 3rd grade ancillary.

Hour of Code - December 6th, 2017

Piney Point celebrated our 4th annual Hour of Code! Students had a fantastic time – particularly enjoying the vastly expanded menu of HOC activities offered by Code.org. Mr. Contreras and his team did a phenomenal job organizing all the logistics, and as always, teachers pitched in and loaned classroom technology to help make it all happen.


The entire campus was transformed into a computer lab! Student had an extended ancillary period and the ancillary teachers facilitated the Hour of Code activities. The gym, library, Art Studio, Science lab, and of course, the STEM Lab and Computer Lab were each set up with 25-50 coding stations. The campus acquisition of more than 200 Chromebooks made this a much easier process this year!
